Surely he should be triumphant on a fiery steed, not a humble donkey! How will the crowds respond? How will the authorities react? Have I misunderstood him too? ‘Being found in human form, he humbled himself’ ... for our sakes. - That this Holy Week we may journey in our hearts and minds with Jesus, with the disciples, and with the crowds in the tumultuous events that unfold leading us to Good Friday... & Easter Morning... Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? Were you there when the laid him in the tomb? Were you there when they saw him risen indeed? - for those preparing for Easter baptisms; and in our own parish & deanery for the Confirmations later this month, including John Kerr, Sarah Perkins. - in the Deanery: Cheveley Group & for the Deanery Standing Committee. - for this parish: for those living in Newnham Drove, Bewick Mead (Burwell), Ditchfield (Reach). - for those in special need: Jean Pratt, Stephen Thacker (& family), Chloe Saunders, Irene Plumb, Vera & Len Lawrance, Anne Cooke (nee Griffiths), Ann Fuller, Renee Haslam, Vera Baker, Sylvia Palmer, Doug Biglin, Jean Fearn (mother of Janice), Doris Horton, Sarah Perkins, Hilary Sage. - For the bereaved including the family and friends of Doreen Parr and those remembering anniversaries of death at this time.
