Dear Church Family

We greet Easter in a similar way as those first followers of Jesus: from behind closed doors. And those closed doors were not a barrier to the joy of the resurrection then nor are they now.

On Maundy Thursday, before we sat down to eat our supper, I washed Greg’s hands and he washed mine. I was thankful to have him with me, but I was also reminded of those who live alone. Please reach out this weekend to someone who lives alone, so that they know they are not alone.

Our Easter Worship Service is attached to this email and the YouTube link is below and on our website
One way for our church community to carry on with its regular activity is to continue to put together a newsletter. Admittedly, the calendar will not have much on it, but it will tell us who we are worshipping with on a Sunday. And since we do not have Sunday school right now, I plan to put together a children’s page and we will also have news from church council and our prayer concerns.
We have a new slate of church council executives: Chair – Dawn Ingram; Vice-Chair – Mik Bickis; Secretary – Katie Ottley; Treasurer – Larry Trenouth. God grant them and all of church council wisdom in the year ahead!

Knowing that God’s presence in our lives is assured, I pray that you will have a blessed Easter.
