After a successful launch in October 2019, the LecDeck youth and children’s ministry resource is kicking-off the new Lectionary year with the launch of Year B and the LecDeck App for Android and Apple iOS.
The LecDeck was originally launched as a Lectionary inspired deck of 52 discipleship cards designed to engage young people in God’s word. Each card containing a Bible passage selected from the principal service, along with thought provoking questions, quote and a prayer focus.
This has been a joint venture between the Diocese of Bath and Wells, Go Team and the Diocese of Bristol, Youth and Children’s Adviser.
Go Team Adviser, Cheryl Govier said: "It has been so exciting to see the LecDeck being used by people in our diocese and beyond. We have loved hearing all the different ways it has been used, from youth leaders using it to inspire sessions, to households using it to engage with the Bible together. The positive feedback has inspired the team in writing the Year B edition and we are so excited to announce the development of the LecDeck App for Android and Apple iOS formats.
"The LecDeck App follows exactly the same format as the pack of cards, but allows you to have the resource at your fingertips for a youth session. We hope the app will also encourage young people to engage with the Bible for themselves enabling them to grow in their relationship with God."
Purchasing the LecDeck App is a one-off payment of £5.99 for both Android and Apple iOS formats. Years A and B are included on the app and Year C will be added in 2021. Original packs of LecDeck Year A are available at a reduced price of £4.00 each (free P+P in the UK). Year B is available to purchase at £8.00 each (free P+P in the UK).
