  • PARISH NEWS May 2020 50P
    HERSTMONCEUX AND WARTLING PARISH NEWS May 2020 50p This Month Reverend Richard writes the letter from the Rectory; Rev Peter’s Green Page; Melinda’s Famous Hymns column covers " Alleluia, Alleluia, Give Thanks to the Risen Lord ", plus the regular columns and news from around the parishes 1 From the Rectory Dear Friends, I am writing this on Easter Monday the headline in front of me says “The future of the virus unknowable” says the health secretary as over 10,000 related deaths have been recorded in our Hospitals. This sounds to me like we need some solid hope and I suspect that in May this will still be the case. However the Queen’s message for Easter yesterday did give hope and also food for thought in the midst of this dark time, and just to remind you, Easter is not over yet, it covers a period of 40 days, and every Sunday throughout the Christian year is also a celebration of Easter day. Here is a section of her address: “This year, Easter will be different for many of us, but by keeping apart we keep others safe. But Easter isn’t cancelled; indeed, we need Easter as much as ever. The discovery of the risen Christ on the first Easter Day gave his followers new hope and fresh purpose, and we can all take heart from this. We know that Coronavirus will not overcome us. As dark as death can be — particularly for those suffering with grief — light and life are greater. May the living flame of the Easter hope be a steady guide as we face the future”.

We will keep you informed as we find out more.
