- Colossians 1:1-14 - Paul Thanks God for the Colossians
- Luke 10:25-37 - The Parable of the Good Samaritan
Dr Frances Clemson is Christian Aid's Faith Communications Specialist. In this role she works with churches and communities across the UK and with Christian Aid's partners around the world, exploring how and why our faith compels us to take action on poverty and injustice.

In this role she worked on the Common Awards partnership - the national framework that supports the academic components of ministry training in a range of UK churches.
