A Message from an Elder

Dear Friends,
As I write this ‘Spring’ seems to have sprung and lots of colour is appearing in gardens and along roadsides. We must always remember to be forever thankful for the beauty around us and the changing seasons but always remember to pray for those parts of the world where extreme weather is making life very difficult for millions of people.

As we once again approach (a very late) Easter we remember our Lords sacrifice for us all, do join us as Dave leads our service of Holy Communion on Maundy Thursday and our lovely and moving Tenebrae service on Good Friday (do speak to Dave if you would like to read at Tenebrae). We celebrate Easter Day when Dave once again leads our early morning communion, when we remember our Lord’s rising from the tomb followed by breakfast and then a service of praise led by Jill.

I am also mindful that our church annual general meeting is on April 6th when we have the opportunity to say thank you to all who have been part of our church community over the past year (and remember those who have gone to glory).

I would like to finish with some words from an Easter hymn;
Low in the grave He lay— Jesus my Saviour!
Waiting the coming day— Jesus my Lord!
Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
Yours in Him, Ian
