Loving in times of trouble

Ruth 1

This Sunday we start a new series based on the Old Testament book of Ruth. It’s a beautiful, moving story of love against the odds; of the risks of travelling to live in a new land; of prejudices being subverted; of kindness that goes beyond the call; and it’s also a story that points forward to the grace and kindness of God shown to us in Jesus Christ. We also celebrate communion in this service.
