Dear Emmanuel Family
During my long leave reflections I came across this rather riveting,
if somewhat in-your-face quote by Matt Chandler:
"We must emphasise the blood-splattered, screaming agony, wrath-absorbing cross of Christ!"
Easter really is the most important time of the year.
It speaks of God's amazing love, new beginnings and hope in the midst of pain.
We have a number of wonderful opportunities for you to reflect on and celebrate the incredible message of Easter.
As usual, I offer you a CHALLENGE:
Come to as many of the services as you can! Use the services as a way of soaking your heart in the incredible reality of God's amazing love for us!
People who have done this in the past have testified that it has been life-changing for them.
THURSDAY
GOOD FRIDAY
For those who are away, travel safely and rest well!
With much love,
Theo
