NUGGETS
FOR
CHRIST CHURCH, ST ANDREW’S AND ST MICHAEL’S
4TH JULY 2026
Hello everyone! I can always remember one of my grandmothers and great aunt reminiscing about the weather and how summers seemed to be warmer with, seemingly, also no rain when they grew up as children. Well, it has certainly been hot, and there has been little rain, but the idyllic picture doesn’t quite fit! I wonder how you have fared in this incredibly hot weather and that you are finding ways to survive? This month my picture is of a random weather map with rather cooler temperatures, which I thought might help to cool you down if this month continues to look as hot as it is already.
But also to remind us that we are ourselves part of a country and a world, all made by our creative God. A world he has called us to look after and care for. As we marvel at that world, let us also hold it in prayer before God – for all that has made and for of it, and for the people of our world, for us, equally crafted, known and loved by our amazing God, who is always with us wherever we are in our world.
