LOUISE’S SERMON – Harvest festival fell on 4 October, the Feast of St Francis and the final Sunday of the Season of Creation (Creationtide).  My sermon focussed on the parable of the wicked tenants (Matthew 21:33-end) and how they did not take their chance for redemption – for renewal of their relationship with God the creator.  If you would like to find out more, here are links to the information I mentioned:-
