EASTER 🐣

Well what a week!!!!
It’s been a massive rollercoaster of emotions this week .. from the chilled out state of holidaying in Spain to a poorly Elijah to car park traumas to football excitements and of course to The highs and lows of Holy Week!!
Each year I get to spend the festival season with one of the three churches to fully engage in the whole experience with the parish and we’ve certainly done that in All Saints Frindsbury Upnor and Chattenden!!
 It has been a real joy to engage in the lent course and then The journey of Holy Week together . It’s an age old story I’ve heard hundreds of times and lived through 41 years but something different happened this year, maybe it’s age maybe it’s life experiences recently but I found the whole experience really moving and emotional . On Friday after having lots of fun with families making Eastery crafts we had our hour at the cross remembering when Jesus died and I stood leading the service and felt tears fall down my cheeks really hit by the emotion of the moment . This morning as I arrived in darkness at 5am I too was blown away by the awesomeness of Jesus coming back to life and the effect that’s had on my life and for those who’s life has come to an end recently but now are safely in resurrection glory themselves .
Thank you so much to those amazing folk who’ve walked this week with me and supported me you don’t know how special you are !!!
Those of you who don’t do  God and have got this far πŸ‘πŸ» well done !!!
Today is an awesome day chocolate chicks bunnies lambs family and friends and bank holidays but most of all that’s all only possible because of the big JC I for one am grateful and feel blessed (there’s nothing else I’d get up at 4.30am for!!)
Have an epic Easter and may God bless you xx
