Minister's Welcome

Ministers Lent-Easter Letter

Dear Friends,

Lent is well under way as I write this, and Easter is coming…  but first there will be Good Friday.  

I remember reading a wonderful book by Tony Campolo with the title It’s Friday… but Sunday’s coming.”

The subject of the book is based on a Good Friday sermon Tony Campolo had heard, where the preacher get stressing that no matter how dark, how depressing, how hopeless and how agonising the events of Good Friday, we know… Sunday’s coming.  Death does not get the final say. God’s resurrection, life-giving power bursts through the darkness like a glorious sun-rise and God’s say is final and for always.  God defeated death on that day, and God has continued to offer new life and resurrection hope every day ever since and always will.  

With this powerful hope - which is the essence of the Good News we have in Christ Jesus - with this everlasting hope as our firm foundation, let me risk exploring what happens if we look at Tony Campolo’s message from the other side (I am reminded of Joni Mitchell’s song, I’ve looked at life from both sides now…).
