News from the Churches

As I write these notes we are entering the second week of what the Christian church knows as Lent.


Down through the years this is often seen as a period of reflection, and it is certainly a good thing to stop and consider the direction our lives are taking.

With the near collapse of the banking system in the West many people are coming to realise how shallow life can be when all we have are material hopes and objectives.

When we base our whole life on the accumulation of wealth or the gathering of posessions it is surprising how quickly this can lead to greed and a self centered attitude.

Why not use this period of Lent to reflect on the spiritual side of life. For me that means faith in Jesus Christ as God's Son and as we reach Easter again all Christians will contemplate His death and celebrate His resurrection.

How about considering going to your local church this Easter and being part of the celebrations.

If you want to know more do give a call.

Happy Easter
