Dear Friends
Please note info about Holy Week and our upcoming Annual meeting.
A little word
O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his mercy endures for ever. Psalm 118.1
As we embark on Holy Week we start with the excitement and anticipation of Palm Sunday; we mull over the deep things Jesus speaks of and the example he sets on Maundy Thursday; we hit the stunned horror of Friday; and the joyous highs of Sunday.
May you recall again God stepping into human history in all the goodness and mercy we witness, and remember that long ago event still changes lives today. It is for ever.
Things to pray for
- Give thanks for the profound hope of all we encounter this week.
- For the Holy Land – for lasting peace.
- For people to take up the vacant roles at the annual meeting.
