Welcome to our website
Easter is a sign of new beginnings, new life in the fields and countryside, new life in our journey in our Christian journey of life.
Easter is a time to celebrate, to find joy and peace and the love of God our Father.
For many years now Easter has been turned into yet another Public Holiday, losing the name of Easter, instead being the Spring Holiday. It is a holiday where families come together to have fun outside in the Spring Sunshine, walks in the parks, trips to the beach, picnics outside in the country, activities that have all been nearly impossible with dark days, cold and wet days. windy days. And so the country seems to come alive again, awaken with renewed vigour and lifted spirits.
For Christians, it is a time to celebrate, to be renewed in Faith, Hope and Love.
Faith in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, who gave His life for us, who Died and then Rose again, that we too might know eternal life in God.
Hope, knowing that God is with us wherever we go, in us whatever we do, and with us in all that we face. He knows our love, our celebrations and joy and also our sorrow at the many difficult things we face in life.
Love, there is nothing like a love that a parent has for a child, from the day you hold a new born in your hands after birth and throughout your life. We are God's Children, Jesus is God's Son, He knows the suffering, the Sacrifice and the joy of Easter.
Let us not turn our celebration of such love into just another holiday, let it truly be a Celebration of Love.
Wishing all a Very Blessed Easter.
