Easter Message
By the time this edition of Wendover News is published we ‘might’ have an idea of what’s happening to our country. These last few months have been hugely unsettling and many look forward to some resolution about Brexit... whatever happens. We want to move forward and be positive about our lives together. Lent (the 40 days of preparation in the Church’s year leading up to Easter) is a time of reflection and renewal; a time to look at our lives . . . how we are leading them, how we are looking after ourselves and how we relate to others and most especially with God. Lots of people give up things but many take up things or use the Lenten season to help others in all sorts of ways. And why do we do this? For Christians it is a certain hope that Jesus died on Good
Friday but rose again on Easter Day to make our lives be full of hope and love. At St Mary’s we are symbolising this through our Lenten cross; the cross is made from the church Christmas tree and the vicarage tree stripped bare and nailed together. Each week a symbol of the Holy Week and Easter story is placed in front of the cross . . . bread & wine, the towel & basin, the crown of thorns, the nails that nailed Jesus to the cross reminding us of the pain that Jesus endured for us all. On Easter Day it will be transformed (as we believe our lives are when Jesus rose from the dead) with flowers to celebrate the joy and hope.
