A quick update on how we've been engaged this week.
Maundy Thu
Pastor Paul visited in the morning to talk to us about Baby J's baptism this Sun, and to confirm how our names are actually spelt. (So far we've been listed as Celvin and Sereena and Baby J's name keeps getting pronounced as "Jor-den" instead of "Jordan". CA says we should have spelt it "Jordann" or even "Jordane", but I reckoned it would have led to the same problem anyway.)
We attended service in the evening. It was so short it was over before we'd really got into it! The reflective reading was adapted from Stages on the Way, Worship Resources for Holy Week - Wild Goose Worship Group.
Good Friday
We met at Saint Thomas Anglican Church for the start of the Good Friday Ecumenical Stations of the Cross Walk, and finished with a short candlelight service at Saint Andrews Catholic Church, followed by a cuppa and hot cross buns at Saint Andrews Pri Sch across the road. The whole walk took about 2 hours and it was wonderful to have people of different denominations come together to remember what Jesus did for us at the Cross. The walk is an annual event jointly organized by the Anglican, Catholic, Lutheran and Uniting Churches of Werribee.
Saturday
HXUCA joined forces with Bunnings for the Easter charity sausage sizzle. CA partnered with Mark Emerson for the 3-5 pm slot, and Daddy's Girl tagged along. Mark says there were thousands of people and queues of 5-6 rows! What fantastic community support.
Easter Sunday
Baby J will be baptized!
A blessed Easter and Happy Hols to everyone!
