A WARM WELCOME to the family and friends of Isabelle  who is being baptised at St Paul’s today.

From Murray  I am just back from a lovely service at Holmwood.  It was great to have so many from St Paul’s there to support the singing and to chat to the residents.  As ever Konrad was working hard to help those who are less well to feel included and part of the worship.  One of the things we did was to share the signs of spring that we had noticed.  We ended up with a really good list – prompted in part by the daffodils on the windowsills and primula in tubs set out for us on the table. Signs of spring are all around us, but just as spring only comes  after the cold, dark days of winter so our joy at Jesus’ resurrection only come after sharing with him the pain of his journey to the cross.
