HOTLINE

Dear friends,

What a wonderful Holy Week and Easter!  Attendances were down a little but Easter Day was magnificent with flowers that told a story and looked wonderful, music from Peter’s keyboard and speakers made us feel we were in Notre Dame in Paris, good singing and a fabulous sermon. Everyone went away elevated as we celebrated the greatest event in history and declared again that “Christ is Risen! He is Risen indeed!” It is the fourth Pascal candle I have lit here and I can safely say that this Easter was by far the best I have experienced since my arrival.  All quite exhausting but so very worthwhile. I have enjoyed some very appreciated positive feedback from many people.

We look forward now to the re-installing of our organ and its dedication in August when Bishop Genieve will be here to worship with us and bless the new organ. August looks like a busy month with the Arts Festival as well so please make the effort to be at these events.

My sincere thanks to everyone who worked so very hard to make Easter and Holy Week the meaningful, prayerful and wonderful times that they were for all who attended.

Christ is Risen – He is Risen indeed!!

Blessings

Grant

NOTICES

FOURTH THURSDAY BOOK CAFÉ:   If you haven’t attended Book Café yet, come along and join in the fun on Thursday 27th April. Bring along the oldest book in your possession and then, if you wish, “show and tell” the group the history of that book.

SAUSAGE SIZZLES The roster is on the Board.  If you can assist please fill in your name.

ST MARK’S –please remember St Mark’s when doing your shopping.  Also, those bags sold by Coles and Woolworths for around $1.00 are always appreciated as they are sturdier than plastic to give goodies out in. Our thanks to Fr Grant who this week delivered a boot full of food and Easter chocolates and eggs to St Mark’s (and our thanks to all who donated them).

ABM Easter Day envelopes are still available.  If you were away over Easter you may wish to make a donation today
