Praise the Lord! The sun is now shining on the dogwood. That lovely crimson red colour reminds me of this time of year when one day in \u201cHis- tory\u201d, that another piece of wood was coloured with crimson &#8211; that blessed cross of Calvary. What an unspeakable act of Love! This another wonderful act of God\u2019s blessing, in that He should choose to save us, feed us, protect us and give us breath every day so that we may enjoy Him and all that He has created.<br \/>\nFor me to take up the cross and witness to His Glory with my brothers is a most humbling experience, for I know what I am! So, I thank the dear Lord for His sovereign divine mercy and plenteous Grace. Showers of blessings be yours this Easter.<br \/>\nGod Bless, Mick.<br \/>\nEaster is fast approaching and many of us will be reflecting on the price that was paid to redeem us from our sins by our Lord Jesus Christ. It cost Him dear! I often think about that moment when Jesus was separated from His father bearing our sins on the cross. He had never known a separation from His father until now on the cross and so He cried out \u201cMy God, my God why have you forsaken me.\u201d We who trust in Jesus will never need to experience that separation for ourselves, for it is by grace that we are saved. Why should Jesus the perfect one have taken our place? The scripture says \u201cGod so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life\u201d John 3:16. May this Easter be for us all a time to reflect and to give thanks for God\u2019s most precious gift the salvation of our souls.<\/p>\n<p>Every blessing, Roy.<br \/>\n\u2018<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Bus Outreach Times for Each Evening<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nMondays 7pm &#8211; Ryde Western gardens (Ryde Esplanade)<br \/>\nTuesdays 7pm &#8211; Freshwater Moa Place Car Park<br \/>\nWednesdays 7pm &#8211; Wroxall Station Road Car Park<br \/>\nThursdays 7pm &#8211; Shanklin Main Co-op Side Car Park<br \/>\nFridays 6pm &#8211; Newport Church Litten Car Park<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Prayer Clock<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nPhilippians 4:6-7 \u2018Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
