April 2024 Newsletter
This year we saw Easter and Eid being celebrated in the same week. Just before Jesus’ ascension, some of his final words to his disciples in Acts 1 v8 were “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth’.
As followers of Jesus we continue to live by that promise as we continue to witness to the goodness of God with all people of all backgrounds.
