The Peace of Christ

Sunday April 5th
Christ is risen!  It is a healing wonder to contemplate that all the complex layers of your life, which neither you nor anyone else can understand, are familiar territory to the risen Jesus who said to his terrified disciples ‘Peace be with you.’

Not everybody has this peace.  It is a gift from God.  We receive it. Or we walk away from it. Or better to say: we receive him. Or walk away from him.

He is our peace. If you have the risen, living Christ as your Savior, and Lord, and Treasure, and Friend, you have the peace that he gives — the peace that he is.

New Members for our Church House

When Ifi left for Australia, we wondered who the next person would be that God would bring to our church house.  We now know!  Anna Robinson will be joining us for a few weeks in April, and from the beginning of May we welcome back Ash Stephenson with his new wife, Emily.  Ash, a professional musician stayed with us in 2014 playing a valuable role in our band, and with Youth Church. It is great to welcome them back.  Do pray for Anna, Ash and Emily, as they settle in and find their ministries, along with Jessie & Christian, who already live there.
