Your Holy Week and Easter

Dear friends,

There’s no easy way to do this, but I have to write a list. The staff team and I are looking forward to sharing a joyful and festive Easter with you as we celebrate the resurrection of our living Lord. May the hope that Christ gives be yours, and his glory rise in your hearts. If you are entertaining guests or visitors over the holiday period, do bring them along to worship with you. Everyone is welcome as we share what God has done for us all.

Do print this out, if you can, as a ready reference. May you use wisely the gift of time God gives to you each day. We’ve not heard from the Fountainview Academy, in BC, Canada, for a while now, so let’s remedy that. This song A Temple made of Time, reminds us that the Lord of our hearts is Lord of all things. As ever, excellent work by the arrangers, performers, and production team. Every blessing, Revd Kevin.
