Much happens in little over a week!
This is the season for growth. Grass, plants, flowers and seeds, not to mention the weeds. Our Sunday School has planted potatoes as tradition bids, and this year, I was also given a seed. My potato was planted and left in the green house. Nine days and what an amazing growth. I am looking forward to harvesting and eating potatoes with plenty of butter.
We are in the midst Holy Week, taking us towards Easter and then the following week we will celebrate St Mark’s Day (our Patronal Festival). Isn’t it amazing that we, no matter how long we have been a Christian and disciple of Jesus Christ, we can still grow and flourish even more? This season, Holy Week – Easter – St Mark’s Day, offers fantastic growth opportunities in terms of deepening our faith, and growing closer to God through prayer and reflection. May I take this opportunity to invite you to the many different services and also challenge you to read the Biblical account of this week of all weeks, starting with the triumphal entry and concluding at the empty tomb Luke 19:28 – 24:12? Look out for the unexpected!
May you and yours be blessed this Easter tide.
Blessings,
Helene

PS. Why not bring someone new with you to church, a family member, friend, or neighbour?
