  • The August Good News from Nettleham Thursday 1St 2019 to Saturday 31St August Trinity 7-10 No 112
    All Saints St. Mary’s NETTLEHAM PARISH CHURCH RISEHOLME PARISH CHURCH The August Good News from Nettleham Thursday 1st 2019 to Saturday 31st August Trinity 7-10 No 112 Reverend Judy writes….. What does August mean to you? Perhaps it’s holidays and time away with family or friends or maybe it’s a time of sitting in the warmth of the sunshine on these light evenings enjoying a glass of wine. Or is it the excitement of the thunderstorms or watching the ripening corn in the field. Or maybe it’s that extra time on your hands to enjoy in any way you want. For children it’s a time to abandon the daily rush and routine of the school day. For families it’s a time to get away together often chasing the sunshine, although perhaps not this year, as we have been blessed with an abundance. For those who have grandchildren perhaps it’s a time for helping out with child care. In the summer God makes the daylight longer and warmer so that the crops and fruits ripen. But it also gives us the chance to be out in the evening where we might be able to talk to people who in the winter are hidden in their homes. It is also a pointer toward heaven when there shall no longer be any night. Long days show the glory of a God who is light, and in whom there is no darkness at all. God creates the summer to give us opportunities to travel and see His handiwork in other places or even enjoy what is on our own doorstep.
