NUGGETS
FOR
CHRIST CHURCH, ST ANDREW’S AND ST MICHAEL’S
1ST JULY 2025
Hello everyone!
As I write, I am feeling rather hot and looking forward to some cooler English weather. Which made me think that July includes St Swithin’s Day and we know that if it rains then, it rains for the next 40 days! Thinking about the weather I found the image below which shows a relationship between climate, weather and temperatures. I am not showing it to look at that correlation – I am showing it to help us to think about our world; the impact that people have had on our world, whilst reflecting on God’s creation and all that he has given us – to care for, to love, to look at with awe, to challenge us about how we ourselves care for the world God has made, and how we care for the peoples within it. As Jesus came to declare his love for each one of us, so he calls us to love our world. Perhaps that can be July’s challenge as we see what the 15th July holds for us!
