I’m looking forward to seeing houses adorned with eggs to remind us of the empty tomb and catkins that remind us that the trees are still growing and blossom will soon decorate our paths. Where’s the life in our communities at present? We enjoyed a great St Patrick’s night in Hart Village Hall and soon we’ll have our Pie n Peas night at Elwick. These evenings are gentle social times when we re- mind folks that community spirit is not lost and in the villages we continue to value it highly. Hart church is looking forward to seeing a new stained glass window which will de- pict the parable of the Sower. I’ll give you more details of that next time!! Children who attend Hart can now enjoy some new tailor made desks and seating which are fabulous. Many thanks go the Johnson family for their kind donation of this fur- niture which will serve generations of children in years to come. As Jesus prepared to show the world that he came to offer the fullness of life, it’s interesting that most of the disciples abandoned him in the hours before his trial.
