Dear Friends,
The man in today’s parable had such a large debt that he had no hope of paying it off. The master cancels the debt: he doesn’t just give him time or let him pay in instalments. The point of the story is that God forgives us our debts (‘trespasses’) completely. This is what redemption is: our debts are wiped out as if they never existed.
The Journey in Faith will begin on Sunday, 15th October at 5pm in the church hall in North Walsham. This time, as well as enquirers, everyone is welcome to attend. Spread the word….
We also have a group of young people who will begin their preparation for Confirmation. Please let me know if you wish to join them.
