It's lovely to hear from you Milly. We were praying for the new president elect of Ukraine since we found out he is a Baptist preacher. We'd only found out that morning as it is not widely reported in the media here. Praying that God will be much involved in the Ukraine and in your country too. God can make so much from so little.

Hello Jayne and happy Easter!

We're still around :) Would be nice to resurrect this thread

Is nickel around at all?

Christ is Risen!

Hello everyone, and Happy Easter! For once we got to celebrate at the same time as it's one of the rare years when the Orthodox calendar coincides with the Western one

Yay Milly! He's risen! (Still v happy about that!)

How are things with you? How was your Easter?

(Posted too soon)

My two sons were baptised on Easter Day which was absolutely lovely. I was all teary, what with having been to the sunrise service at 5.30 and the general celebration. It was really, really lovely to see them make this wonderful commitment.

Wow, niminy... that must've been special. Congratulations to them, and alleluia.

That must have been an amazing experience for all of you Niminy. Praise God.

Very, very special. Alleluia!

That's just gorgeous niminy :)

Funnily enough we all had a lot of afterwards!

I thought that might be the case!
