EASTER GREETINGS

We send you all our warm Easter greetings from Kampala.

I have just watched the Queen's first ever Easter Message to the nation. Her message of hope is inspiring.

I'll leave the Queen to be the voice for this blog post, but here are a few photos of our isolated Easter in Kampala.

We woke up to find some of our garden roses had bloomed in time for Easter!

Our MAF neighbours had a wonderful idea for Easter day! They put up a wooden cross on the hill at the end of our road and anyone passing or any of us who received a message about it could walk up and post a flower into one of the many drilled holes in the cross. A beautiful symbol of Easter LIFE and HOPE.




We did a short home-church Bible reading, followed by a short Easter egg hunt for some mini-eggs I received in a package from friends in Norway.

The children each wrote up a verse they liked from the readings we did. I'll leave you with their verses, colourfully portraying the Easter message and the HOPE it gives us in these difficult days of isolation and covid-19 around the globe.
