A word or two from Mairi

From "The Link" Parishes Newsletter,

Easter 2025

​

Dear Friends,

Well here we are again at one of those pivotal moments

in the Bible: Easter that we all know and love.

But for ministers it can also be that time when we feel

we have to come up with something new and engaging, after all you have all heard the story year after year after year. So we search for profound words, engaging visuals, original material. But you know it does not matter how we dress it up or deliver it the fact is we will stand on Easter morning and announce

​

He has risen!

​

And that basically is the bottom line. Christ hung, suffered, was crucified on the cross, died and he was buried and on the 3rd day he rose from the grave for our salvation.

This gives us, like nothing else can:

• a hope

• a promise, and

• a call to action

It is for each one of us to either accept or reject what is offered to us. It’s your choice! We need look no further or deeper into this story, simply accept this mind blowing truth that,

​

He has risen indeed! Amen!

​

May God Bless you this Easter tide.
