Rejoice in the LORD your God,
for he has given you the autumn
rains because he is faithful.
He sends you abundant showers,
both autumn and spring rains.’
Joel 2:23
Easter eggs symbolize the empty tomb of
Jesus because an egg appears to be like the
stone of a tomb, and a bird hatches from an egg
with life. Similarly, the Easter egg, for Christians,
is a reminder that Jesus rose from the grave,
and that those who believe will also experience
Eternal Life..
If anyone would like to donate Easter Eggs for the Drop in, Tesco
has an offer on at the moment buy 2 get 2 free. They are £1.50
each - so would need to buy 2 =£3.00 to get 4.
Many thanks - this offer will not last for long.
‘Jesus, King of Kings, Lord of all! We praise You that the Father
gave all authority to You, the Living Word, then sent the Holy Spirit
to equip us with power and love to live out Your Gospel of grace and
truth. Please help us to serve You with humility and love. Amen.’
'It is our custom as a church not to take up
an offering on Sundays except when
celebrating Communion, when we give to a
specific work or organisation to further their
ministry. There is however a box at the rear
of the church for regular tithes and offerings'.
The Communion Offering this month will be for

‘The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not
overcome it.’
John 1:5
Please pray for those who are in dark places: Those persecuted for their faith
 Those who are sick
 Those who are in difficult circumstances
 Any other reason you can think of.
Pray they will be aware of the Light that shines in the darkness.
Jesus
