A word or two from Mairi

From "The Link" Parishes Newsletter,

Easter 2026

​

Dear Friends,

I wonder how your Lent journey is going.

Who have you met along the way?

Where have you stopped off to rest a while?

​

Lent is my favourite time in the Christian calendar. A time to stop, reflect, ponder a while. To meet Christ in so many fascinating places and experiences. To deepen your time with him in prayer and in awe and wonder.

​

An easy journey? Certainly not. But one of the most rewarding journeys you can make. To walk with Christ as he enters those last weeks.

· to meet the people he met.

· to stumble with him,

· to feel even a little of the pain that he felt,

· to be unsure if you will endure to the end with him.

​

Finally to reach your destination, at the foot of the cross, humbled and still left wondering, yet feeling blessed to be able to join in the glory of Easter morning and be able to proclaim, “He is risen” and hear the echoes of, “He is risen indeed!”

May God bless your Easter journey.

​

With Love,

Rev Mairi
