Andrew’s people are in the cast: Chris Boldt, Rowan Hird, and Lisa
Thompson. After the show, all who can

Food
for thought on forgiveness from Brother Geoffrey Tristam, SSJE…
In your relationship with God, do you really believe
that you are a forgiven person? What would it be like if you really believed these words, “I will
forgive your iniquity, and I will remember your sin no more.” God wills and longs
not to remember. We just need to believe it – it can set us free!
See you in church!
Blessings, Heidi+
