Martin Colledge, the former Head Gardener at Logan Botanic Garden, passed away on the 2nd of March at the age of 97. He had ben associated with our congregation since the early 1980s. A Service of Thanksgiving for his life was held this morning. Given Martin’s job as a horticulturist and love for the Old Testament, Stephen spoke on how mankind began in a paradise garden, how that paradise was lost, and how it can be regained.
