Wednesday Virtual Evening Prayer: ALL GOD’s CREATURES: Four studies looking at the biblical relationship
between humans and creatures great and small, and how we're doing in our
care for God's creation in today's world. The study looks both at Scripture
and a selection of nature facts and articles, and invites those taking part
in the individual studies to think about the issues that are being raised
today by environmentalists throughout the world, and come to a better
understanding of what their own relationship with all of God’s creatures
should and could be.
This study will
start at 7pm Wednesday 21 April and conclude on Wednesday 12 May. We will
start with a short Evening prayer service.
Please contact
William Passmore at 613 836 2876 or the Church Office if you would like to
join us. The meeting will be on Zoom. Alternatively, if you would like to
study at home, William would send you a copy of the study.
