Thought For The Week 07.04.2024
Easter services last week reminded me that we are part of a much bigger church than we see week to week on Sundays.

And the narrative it brings to us – that life is stronger than death, that hope is stronger than despair, that the light is stronger than the darkness – makes us an Easter people.
