The Communion Forest

Lynne McNaughton — Sat, 01 Oct 2022 19:50:07 +0000

I think it has been a wise move on the part of the church to have a “Season of Creation.” Through our worship and teaching life, our life as disciples, this season of our Church year spotlights our relationship and responsibility for God’s gift of Creation.
