       HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

      Pilgrim Journeys: The Creeds can be used at any time of year but is ideal for anyone to use daily during Lent – starting from Ash Wednesday* and either finishing 40 days later on Palm Sunday (if you use it every day) or on Easter Eve (if you use it every day except Sunday).

      Those preparing for baptism, confirmation or the renewal of baptism promises may find it helpful as part of their preparation for that commitment. Members of Pilgrim groups who are spending six weeks exploring The Creeds (Book 5) together may find it helpful to use this daily material in between sessions.

      The 40 daily reflections on The Apostles’ Creed are grouped in eight chapters of five days. Each day offers:

      • A theme linked to a section of The Apostles’ Creed

      • A short Bible reading that explores that theme

      • An invitation to reflect on the reading

      • A prompt to pause and consider what this might mean for you

      • A suggestion of how to pray.

      Across each group of five days we will explore what each section of The Apostles’ Creed means for us, for our faith and for how we live it out in everyday life.

      At the end, you will find some possible next steps for you on your discipleship journey, as well as some further resources including other Pilgrim materials for you to explore.
