All Saints Gazette: Easter 2
Greetings from All Saints
Update: I am hearing that some people did not receive this week's newsletter. We're trying again! Apologies for any inconvenience (not that I have any idea what caused it)! All the best,
Kyle+
Coming up:
No Bible study or Thursday prayer this week
Next worship: Sunday, April 21
Our Thursday lineup
Due to unavoidable scheduling conflicts, we will not meet this week for Bible study or prayer. But put next week in your calendar: 18 April at 18:00! But on the topic of Thursdays, every first Thursday of the month will be a gathering of the various faith communities who worship at Vrijburg. The trial run last week was wonderful, and one of the Vrijburg pastors shared this poem:
What is Abundance?
Mpho put the question to Hans, and here's what he said:
Hi Mpho,
have now time to answer you. Just got home from a day in The Hague with XR trying to tell our government to (at least) stop subsidising the fossil industries.
And my answer to your question would be: aside from feeling blessed with abundance in having a loving spouse and four children, I have an experience of spiritual abundance when participating in these XR activities.
By times I am sceptic, even cynical, about global development but when I am amongst my fellow “Rebels” I am reminded of the idea that “another world is possible”.
I see and feel it in how the activists (and the organisation as far that there is an actual organisation) look after each other, give space, support, understanding, cooperation, in short nothing but good things. People that would normally not meet or speak, live completely different lives and differ in age, personal circumstance etc somehow are in complete agreement: not only on the topic at hand, but also in how we would like to treat each other and be treated.
Thank you Hans!
Meet our People
Same question to everyone: tell us about your name. Kyle is up!
That's all for today!
Want to talk to a priest? We want to talk to you too!
