1 The Wiverton News from your village churches and chapels April/May

2 Resurrection inspires & transforms Dear Friends, As we near the end of Lent and move into Holy Week we make ready to celebrate Easter, the most important festival in the Christian Calendar. Without the resurrection, the birth and death of Jesus become irrelevant and life would be very different. Jesus would have been just another teacher and prophet, another victim of Roman justice but his resurrection changed and inspired the lives of his closest followers and still changes and inspires lives today. We see that inspiration in the writers, artists, musicians, craftsmen and craftswomen, architects, builders and others whose skill and creativity enables us to celebrate Easter in our churches, chapels and cathedrals. We give thanks for them but not them alone. The most inspiring thing about the resurrection is that it transforms the lives of ordinary men, women and children like you and me. So we give thanks too for the evangelists, preachers, teachers and leaders, past and present, who have been witnesses to the story of Jesus since that first great Easter day. We might think that Easter is all about eggs and bunnies but in truth it is about hope and a new life, available to every single person. Christianity is not just a moral code. It is a way of life in a personal relationship with God through the resurrected Christ who lives with us today by His Holy Spirit and invites us all into a new and abundant life. My prayer for us all, is that as we celebrate Easter this year we will be inspired and transformed. Canon Bronwen Gamble Rector of the Parish of Wiverton in the Vale 2

7 7 Join in a global wave of prayer Thy Kingdom Come (TKC) is a global prayer movement which invites Christians around the world to pray between Ascension and Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus Christ. What started out as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York in 2016 to the Church has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer. Last year over 200 churches and schools across the diocese took part, praying in churches, pubs, country parks and schools. It is hoped that many churches will take part again this year, joining Christians around the world in prayer from May 10th to May 20th. The aim of TKC is that: People will commit to pray with God s world-wide family as a church, individually or as a family; Churches will hold prayer events, such as 24-7 prayer, prayer stations and prayer walks, across the UK and in other parts of the world; People will be empowered through prayer by the Holy Spirit, finding new confidence to be witnesses for Jesus Christ. Individuals, families and churches are being encouraged to sign up to Pledge2Pray on the TKC website The information supplied will then be used to plot prayer events on a map of the world. There is also a range of prayer resources on the site. In our parish we will be holding a TKC event at St Giles, Cropwell Bishop from 10am to 11am followed by Coffee and Cake. ALL ARE INVITED. Follow us on #Pledge2Pray.
