9.4.20 - Message from the Vicar, Martin Rutter

Dear All,

Tomorrow, on Good Friday, the 1.00 pm Prayer on the diocesan Facebook page will take the form of a 15-minute meditation called 'Way To The Cross' by Bishop Michael.  It will also be on the diocesan website..

Bishop Michael also invites all in the diocese to join him for an Easter Vigil service at 5.15 am on Easter Sunday, which he will be live-streaming from his garden, on the Diocesan website and on the Diocesan  Facebook page.  Whether or not you are able to join him at this early hour, he encourages everyone at some point on Easter morning to light a candle and say the Paschal candle prayer which is also on the card he recently sent to all clergy and licensed ministers:
 
Jesus Christ yesterday and today,
the beginning and the end,
Alpha and Omega,
all time belongs to him,
and all ages;
to him be glory and power,
through every age and for ever.  

Let these days be a strength and blessing to us.

Martin
