 A Meditation for Palm Sunday & Holy Week Click here. Christ our God, alongside your suffering, you also bear my wounds. I offer you all the grief and worries I carry at this hour: may they be transformed by your love, which is poured out in death for our sakes: Hold us in your embrace as we wait for Easter’s dawn. Comfort us with the promise that no power on earth, not even death itself, can separate us from your love; and strengthen us to wait until you are revealed to us in your risen glory. - from Daily Prayer for All Seasons March 28th - Palm Sunday / The Sunday of the Passion Morning Prayer on Zoom @ 9 am with a Dramatic Reading of the Passion Gospel According to Mark Following the Liturgy of the Palms held on Saturday March 27, 2021 Ministers of the Liturgy: The Rev.

Last week we mentioned sheep, this week it is the mighty water buffalo. The water buffalo is actually called 'the gentle giant'. A water buffalo allows a farmer to plant more than four times as many crops. This is due to the water buffalo helping to till the fields instead of the farmer planting by hand; in fact, with a water buffalo a farmer can sow a field in days instead of the weeks it would take to do by hand. People living in marshland areas around the world depend on these gentle giants. A water buffalo also provides fertilizer for the crops, and did you know that a water buffalo can produce milk that is high in protein and nutrients? The water buffalo is an important animal to many! Please remember during Lent to add a coin to your mite box/container for things you are thankful for! Thank you.
