Welcome

5th April

Holy Saturday & Easter Sunday

Dear Friends,

Happy Easter to everybody. This is the time of the year when the daylight lengthens, and the warmth of the sun cheers us up. Easter and the Resurrection should also cheer us up. To FORGIVE and to GIVE should be high on our agenda. To see people not in a limited way, but all trying to do their best and that is all we can ask for. Looking at the world we live in we are challenged to be positive about human nature. Yet out of Jesus example he did not bury his head in the sand but reminded the disciples “No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called friends, because all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you”. (John 15:15). If we really believe we represent Jesus in family life, in our place of work, and in our moments of leisure, would we be any different than we are today.

Christ The Lord is Risen Today

Alleluia
