Readings: Genesis 50.15-21 Romans 14.1-12 Matthew 18.21-35
Kevin Francis led our service again this week, continuing the theme of Creation. and linking this with our scripture readings which focused on forgiveness. He spoke about the need for forgiveness for the way we have damaged creation and the need for us to have humility, seek justice and live in harmony with nature as St Francis did, seeing nature as a reflection of God’s glory.
