'Shades of green'



We are told to appreciate the importance of trees across our planet. How they are essential to the earth's survival. Even consider being a 'tree-hugger'. People climb trees, build with their wood, burn it on a fire for cooking and warmth and there are lots more uses. Over 30 different types of trees are referred to in the Bible, some literal and some figuratively. In this new series for Sunday mornings we will look at some of these 'trees'. See what we can learn and how they can apply and help us as Christians in the 21st century.	Sunday Morning Series with John and Barry
