God's Acre MCC ~ Weekly Newsletter
18th April 2022
Greetings!
Good morning,

Happy Easter to you and especially to those I didn’t see yesterday.

I was preaching about how we are resurrected people; just as Christ was resurrected from the tomb, we too, are resurrected from darkness. We are blessed and covered by the blood of Christ, who died for our sins and lifted us from the mire into the light.

I have shared eight Easter Sundays with you and not only has our church survived, it’s grown, and it has grown up. I have seen so many people, whose faith walk goes from strength to strength. 
The resurrection means there is hope, and we trust in our Lord Jesus, who gives us that eternal relationship with God. 

When Jesus rose again, it was God’s way of showing us that He cannot be defeated.

Our Easter story teaches us humility and love. I sincerely hope that you spend time with your loved ones this week. 
I am going on a retreat, next week, to be quiet and reflect on my faith journey, which is why there will be no in-person worship next Sunday.

I’m going to regroup and recharge, as well as pray about the plans that God has for our church, and I'll still be holding you all in prayer.

I hope that this week you too, will find some downtime; some time to be able to reflect on your journey with God.

May God bless you all this week and next. I look forward to seeing you all again on 1st May.
 
In Christ

Rev. Janice
