‘Fish in the air and birds in the sea’

Lent Bible Studies for all the benefice

‘Fish in the air and birds in the sea’

What can we learn from the Bible about our place on earth?

Nature is a joy and a solace to many of us, especially during a devastating pandemic, but that is only part of the story of God’s creation. There is so much to discover in the Bible about our planet and our place in it, so we are running a short series of Bible studies during Lent to glimpse the bigger picture. Expect some surprises along the way - so, no, that is not a typing error in the title above!

In four short sessions we will ask questions, dig into some passages, watch some film clips, and hear from guests working in conservation and creation care. Above all, this will be a time to listen to God, to his heart for the world he has created.

This Monday, March 1st, we are looking at the ‘Human Footprint’, and what some have termed the ‘first great commission’ in Genesis where God charges humanity, made ‘in his image’, to care for creation.

Our guest speaker is Ann Stuart, who is setting up a local gardening for wildlife scheme and will give us a preview before it all goes ‘live’. We will also discover a ‘bird in the sea’…

Don’t worry if you haven’t been before or can’t make all of the four fortnightly studies - drop in when you can.

Mondays, 8 - 9.00pm every two weeks: 15th February and 1st, 15th and 29th March, on Zoom.
