Dear Friends,
Hope to see you on gardening errands on Saturday morning, it looks like the weather is holding for us. Do note our job vacancy, it will be great to fill that post as soon as we can.
A little word
Brothers and sisters… one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3.13-14 (NIV)
St. Paul had a hideous past. He could have hidden away angst and guilt ridden. But he confronted it, he did not let it define him, and he strove forward living a different life and inspiring others to do likewise. As we approach Easter we will revisit those themes of sins forgiven, death defeated, and new life. May we each own it, each day.
Things to pray for
- Give thanks for fresh starts and new beginnings.
- For the people of Myanmar and all those trying to help
- For a successful outcome to our Administrator advert
