The altar guild always ensures the altar and the church are beautifully decorated for Easter, and that is thanks to all of us who place Easter memorials. Thank you.

Last Sunday's Sermon

By Mother Susan

Why is Jesus talking about snakes?

Jesus is referring to that incident in the wilderness as the Israelites wandered for forty years after escaping slavery in Egypt. It didn’t take them long to start complaining, and so God sent a bunch of poisonous snakes to get their attention. Quickly realizing their mistake, they beg Moses to pray to God to make it stop. God provides a remedy through Moses’ bronze serpent on a stick, allowing those who are bitten to look on it and live.
