Learning: Caring for God's World
“The Christian message should offer us a lens through which we can view eternity and see the actions and decisions we take today as ripples on the lake of time which will reach the shores of future generations for good or ill.” - Michael Bates
No one knows it all, together we have a better idea. We dedicate time of extended learning together each month as a church. In 2020 we are following Simplicity, Love and Justice by James Odgers.
In the chapter Caring for God’s World we re-committed ourselves to:
consider our responsibility as Christians for the created world
be aware of the statistics which show how quickly the world is being degraded
consider how such statistics change our lifestyle
“I love God and I love His world…”
