Context

This lesson provides an opportunity for people to imagine what might be on God’s heart with regards to God’s world/people. What we experience and know of God will be reflected in the letters that are composed. So this lesson also makes space for God to have a part in the conversation through prayer. Throughout, there is the assumption that God seeks to make God’s self known through scripture, reflection and prayer – according to God’s wisdom and timing.
