Christchurch Parish News, October 2014

This a reflection I wrote back in July for the Bible study group. It is based on the Gospel reading for the 4th Sunday after Trinity. Before reading it, even if you are familiar with the parable, I recommend taking a moment to read the passage in question, Matthew 13 1-9; 18-23.

Jeremiah 22; Luke 14

In January for the Bournemouth Churches Housing Association we raised £400+. I was struck by an incongruity. This is the warmest building I know of in Christchurch. Here we have a warm building with the gates shut at night to keep those who are cold out.
