An Easter Prayer
When everything was dark and it seemed that the sun would never shine again,
your love broke through.
Your love was too strong, too wide, too deep
for death to hold. The sparks cast by your love
dance and spread and burst forth
with resurrection light.
Gracious God, We praise you for the light of new life
made possible through Jesus. We praise you for the light of new life
that shone on the first witnesses of resurrection. We praise you for the light of new life
that continues to shine in our hearts today. We pray that the Easter light of life, hope and joy,
will live in us each day; and that we will be bearers of that light
into the lives of others. Amen.
Revd Michaela Youngson.

You may already know...
There are SCAM messages circulating which appear to be from church ministers, but they are not. Liz, circuit administrator, has
already received one, allegedly from Neville asking her to email back. The email address was clearly spurious. Please be aware of
this, double check sender email addresses, and do not just automatically reply to emails!
What’s been happening this Easter.... a picture guide round the circuit...

have made to give out at Easter.
Thank you! Easter gift bags have been delivered safely
to Messy Church families, local independent
businesses, shops, services, schools and
some folk who had been shielding,
donated them to kind neighbours or friends who had helped out
during the pandemic. We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who was involved, either in
packing and delivering, guillotining
cards, knitting egg cosies, those who
donated creme eggs, pompoms, felt chicks, to our printers, and a very special 'thank
you' to Louisa Percy who designed the
lovely thank you card. Helen Currie Catherine Staton Liz Sullivan.
