                                    PEWS NEWS FOR THE MEASE VALLEY CHURCHES    

Sunday 10th September 2017 – Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity

‘Proclaim the good news of God’s love’

9sept17The gospel (or ‘good news’) is that God in Christ has reconciled lost human beings to himself. He sent his Son to seek them out, offer them love and forgiveness, and bring them under the rule of God. In this Kingdom they are reconciled to their heavenly Father, and to each other, and are sent on a mission: to be agents of reconciliation in a divided world.
