"Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all." Proverbs 31:28-29.

Today we honor and celebrate all mothers and mother figures who reflect God’s love through their strength, sacrifice, wisdom, and unwavering faith.

May the Lord bless you today and always with joy, peace, and renewed strength.

Our Kids Bible Vacation Day (organized by our Little Lamps program) was a beautiful and meaningful celebration centered on the Easter story. The theme for the day, “God Keeps His Promises,” guided every activity and helped the children understand how God’s promises are fulfilled through Jesus.

The children were divided into five groups and rotated through different stations, each one focusing on an important part of the Easter story. This structure allowed them to experience the message in an interactive and engaging way.

At the first station, “The Promised King,” the children learned about Palm Sunday and how Jesus entered Jerusalem as the King who had been promised long before.

The second station, “The Passover Lamb,” focused on the Last Supper. Here, the children discovered how Jesus shared a special meal with His disciples and how He became the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world, fulfilling God’s promise of salvation.

At the third station, “The Suffering Servant,” the children reflected on Jesus’ death on the cross. This was a powerful moment where they learned about sacrifice, love, and the depth of God’s commitment to His people.

The fourth station, “New Life,” brought the joyful message of Easter. The children celebrated the resurrection of Jesus and learned that God’s promises bring hope, new beginnings, and life.

In addition to the teaching stations, the children also participated in a creative craft activity where they made their own resurrection gardens. This hands-on activity helped them visualize the Easter story and served as a meaningful reminder of the empty tomb and the new life we have in Christ.

It was truly a special day, and we are grateful for everyone who helped make it possible and for the opportunity to teach our children that God truly keeps His promises.

Our Easter Market on the 28th of March was a wonderful success and a truly memorable event. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, with a great turnout from the community who came out to support and celebrate.

The variety of stalls offered something for everyone, from delicious food and sweet treats to beautiful handmade crafts and unique gifts. Vendors brought incredible energy and creativity, which added to the overall charm of the market.

The festive Easter spirit could be felt throughout the day. Families, friends, and visitors enjoyed browsing, shopping, and spending quality time together.

A big thank you to everyone who participated, supported, and contributed to making the day so special. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!

Palm Sunday + ... the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him. John 3: 14f.

As we gather to celebrate this special day, remembering Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, we are filled with joy and gratitude!

We are excited to share that our church has received a generous donation in the form of a beautiful donkey named Coco. Coco will be participating in various activities in and around the church, as well as St Martin's Village - Caring, Enabling, Integrating.

Today he will be helping us bring the story of Palm Sunday to life in a meaningful and memorable way.

A heartfelt thank you to Waldo Bosse for this incredible gift, and for taking the time to lovingly train Coco for us. Your generosity and support are truly appreciated!

We look forward to celebrating together and creating a special experience for our community.

Blessings to all this Palm Sunday 🌿
