Harpley, My Life is my Message." Mahatma Gandhi

Dear Friends,
One advantage in having a late Easter is there is a better chance that the weather may be good. I am not an expert on predictions but really hope the sun shines and
we can be outside without coats and gloves.
Last month I spoke about a love of books, and I am delighted to tell you that my bookshelves are looking great, no longer squeezed tightly together, a successful spring clean project achieved.
The bags of books seeking new homes, are on their way to Bircham Windmill Café for sale, monies then being donated to HarpleyChurch. A win win situation. It makes a renewal for book readers, for my shelves andfor Harpley church!
Easter is a wonderful time for renewal. After all the events including Lent and Holy Week the resurrection of Jesus brings all that we can ever ask for! Hope, joy, love, and the promise of eternal life.
It is the GOOD NEWS and makes being a Christian and sharing in that message of salvation totally awesome!
Alleluia, Christ is Risen!
Come and join us at one of the many services in our ten churches, something for everyone, including an Easter Vigil at Ashwicken church.
There are children’s events including the Easter Craft Fair on April 9 th at St Botolph’s Church and Palm Sunday services with donkeys at East Walton and Massingham.
The inside pages of this magazine have all the details.
On March 15 th we had a brilliant workshop called Walking in New Testament Sandals by Rev’d Dr Sue Woan.
There is so much happening in our churches and our schools, which will continue, even without a permanent vicar.
We have brilliant support from clergy colleagues and our ministry teams are amazing!!
Best wishes for a warm and sunny Easter and remember the good news, Alleluia
Christ is Risen!
