Easter greetings to you all
Once again it’s time for new life (seed sowing)
At present we’re still in recovery from poor health, getting stronger but a little way to go yet.
We’re back out with the bus for three nights at the moment but we have other commitments in service during the day. We will endeavour to witness with the cross this Easter but not walking all around the island, at the moment we’re not fit enough but hope to visit most towns on route.
We also hope to witness at Chale and Wolverton shows the Lord willing of course.
We offer to the Lord what little we have in faith knowing that He is able to turn that into anything He likes, just like the widow with a little oil and flour.
Thank you all so much for your continual prayers and support.
Just like Jesus in John 4v6 Jesus became weary, so do we become weary in the work but never weary of the work.
I thank our gracious God and Saviour Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit for the answer to prayer for healing and deliverance from death. Glory to His Holy Name and may the dear Lord bless all mums.
Every blessing Mick

Mr W. Wintle. 1906-1980
My grandad, this article I found in his bible. Fear none of these things which thou shall suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribu-lation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Rev 2v10. It was hard sometimes for God’s people, in the days before Jesus Christ came, not to feel discouraged. They would put their trust in brave earthly princes, and these would fail them. Their enemies at times were so numerous that they seemed to be like bees, and when they felt most in need of strength and courage they would sing praises to their God, gaining comfort and help in thinking of Him. The man who wrote this psalm thought of all God’s mercies to the children of Israel and the many times He had saved them in their distress. “The Lord is on my side: I will not fear what man can do unto me, he said. And it was at times like this, when singing praises to God ,that God sent into the hearts of His people message’s and visions of the one who one day would come from heaven to be their Saviour, Deliverer, and Friend. And to those who remained faithful unto death God promised He would give a crown of life.
May God bless you Anne

HOPE
We all hope for different things through life, many of which may not happen. At the moment the world seems in turmoil, and many are worried, but there is a different kind of hope we can all have and that is through the Lord Jesus Christ, who is always there for us and we can leave our worries in his hands. There is the old hymn that goes. My hope is built on nothing less Than Je-sus blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesus’ name. On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.
Every blessing, Heather.

Holy Week A Time For Reflection
Reflecting on the events that led up to our dear Lord’s betrayal, the false trials, the beatings, His death on the cross, and then being buried in a tomb, if that was all to Easter then there would be no hope for us at all. The truly wonderful news is that our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead as He had promised He would, and we can rejoice in His finished work. Our salvation has been purchased at such a great price and we should be ever grateful for His loving sacrifice. To those of us who believe there is the promise of heaven to be with our Lord forever, what great joy that will be. But in the meantime we face the challenges in life that can cause us to take our focus off the Lord, so we forget the many promises scripture holds for us. Our only hope is in our beloved Lord and Saviour. We are saved by faith through His grace. Praise the Lord!
God bless Roy.

A Poem To Reflect
My friend, I stand in judgment now,
And feel that you are to blame somehow
On earth I walked with you by day.
And never did you show the way.
You knew the Saviour in truth and glory,
But never did you tell the story
My knowledge then was very dim.
You could have led me safe to Him.
Though we lived together here on earth,
You never told me of the second birth.
And now I stand before eternal hell,
Because of heaven’s glory you did not tell!

Quotes By C H Spurgeon
Leave out the cross and you have killed the religion of Jesus. Atonement by the blood of Jesus is not an arm of Christian truth; it is the heart of it.

Hang this question up in your homes – “What would Jesus do?” and then think of another – “How would Jesus do it?” For what Jesus would do, and how He would do it, may always stand as the best guide to us.

May this Easter be a really special time for you and your families.
