Last Saturday, we had the honour of celebrating the Eucharist with baptism, confirmation, affirmation of baptismal faith, and reception into the Church of England. Bishop Robert presided at the service, which brought together four chaplaincies: St John the Evangelist, Ghent; St Paul’s, Tervuren; St Martha and St Mary’s, Leuven; and our own.

Many congratulations and prayers to all who were baptised, confirmed, received into the Church of England, and to the person who affirmed their baptismal faith.

Deo gratias!

This Passion-tide and Easter Day, we have acted rashly with Peter, waited with Mary Magdalene, been called like Andrew, sat at table with Matthew, and been loved like John.

Christ calls each of us by name ✝️ Happy Easter!

Come wait and watch and worship with us this evening (9pm Saturday 4 April) as we keep vigil in the tomb, as we witness the inextinguishable Light of Christ burst back into flame in our Easter Vigil.

And then come celebrate with us again tomorrow morning (Easter Sunday, 11am) as we joyfully glorify God together for his faithfulness and love in giving new life to us and the world in the resurrection of Jesus from the dead!
