From the Chaplain
In 1826, the French lawyer Anthelme Brillat-Savarin wrote, Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are. What does our food say about us? Food is in such ready supply in the Western world - for those who have income to buy it - and it is easy to buy what is in front of us, what is easy, available, affordable. Creationtide is an invitation to be more thoughtful about what we buy and consume.

Prayer
|
Holy God, we acknowledge our dependence on the fruits of the earth, the clear running water, the shelter of trees and the goodness of soil. We acknowledge our dependence on you, Lord, as author and creator. So help us, Lord of all, that the network of creation which so supports and helps us, may not be further broken and that we may be amongst those who repair the damage of the years.
Amen.

Join a home group!
Are you eager to explore how faith impacts your daily life? Do you long to deepen connections with others and support each other as you walk with the Lord? If so, this is for you!
These small groups will meet every other week in someone’s home to share our faith journeys, open the Bible and pray together.
If you are interested, could you let me know where you live and when works for you? We will not pin you down on any of your responses, it’s just to get an idea as to who is interested so that we are able to form groups and be back in touch with you. Please drop me a note: curate@lisbonanglicans.org.
Thank you! Daleen
