The great Feast of Easter is with us and as so many are saying it has come quickly. We can make the most of the 50 Days as we renew the promise of our lives in the different conditions we find are ours. In a spirit of faith, we deepen the commitment of the Sacrament of Baptism which may have happened long ago and are inspired by those adults who are baptised at the Easter Vigil along with those being received into full communion in Christ’s Church. Along with these features of Easter life comes a fresh joy in our hearts –singing a new song.
It is also a time to thank parishioners for their generous support in giving but also in the time and effort of ministries – of reading preparations for the liturgies, maintenance, music, finance and so many ways needed to support the parish community.

Awaking Time
In many meanings! Did you wake up an hour earlier as Summertime commenced?
Now the green blade riseth
From the buried grain
Wheat that in the dark earth
Many days has lain,
Love lives again,
That with the dead has been,
Love is come again,
Like wheat that springeth green.
St Thomas More Church, Patcham, Brighton
