Week 22 · 22–26 February 2027 · Lent
Clean water, a new heart
Unit 7 · The New Heart: I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and a new heart I will give you. Read it, then Romans 6, then stop talking.
Session A · the reading
About 55 minutes. Open and read aloud before any framing: no introduction, no “today we’re looking at”. Scripture first, then the Father.
- Ezekiel 36:16–28; Romans 6:3–11
Session B · the argument
About 35 minutes, on another day. Never both in one sitting.
By heart. Romans 6:3–4.
What is it for?. The new heart. The text answers (Ezekiel 36:27).
Video. Ezekiel

Books this week
Optional: one piece of media
Wolfwalkers (2020), with its story in Unlock! Kids: Irish Folklore. Watched together, with nothing said about why it was chosen; how the list was made.
Read Ezekiel, then Romans 6, then stop talking. Nothing needs arguing.
