Message from the Rector

 Dear Friends

I must admit that I am feeling genuinely excited about Easter this year!  As a sign of hope it is pretty well placed, just as we begin to come out of restrictions and have something we might like to celebrate (that is providing of course all goes to plan).  It feels like my first Easter in the Benefice, as last year the first lockdown hit a few weeks beforehand and we did not at that point have the equipment or the know how to share services with you remotely.  What a long way we have come in the last 12 months!

Easter is a real time of Joy for Christians as we celebrate Christ rising from the dead, and the new agreement he forged with God, giving us direct access to him and his love and forgiveness  – it is a time of celebration and of transformation, represented by the Easter Egg and the flowers we fill the churches with.  We would so love you to join us this year (although I doubt whether we will be able to sing the great Easter Hymns yet!) – we will be open for public worship again as from Palm Sunday  - please look at our website (www.tworiversbenefice.org) for the services which will cover the important days of Holy Week as we move round the benefice.

Blessings

Jenny
