Easter Pilgrim Daily Reflections
Catherine Gallagher shared with a day from the Easter Pilgrim series from the Church of England. There are some really good resources in this series with some great family challenges.

“Ephesians offers a picture of the Christian life as a battle. The Church encourages every Christian at their baptism to fight valiantly ‘against sin, the world and the devil’. We do battle against the evil which remains in our own lives. We do battle against the evil which is in the world. We do battle against the devil, who represents the spiritual forces of evil we cannot see.“
If you haven’t done so already, please take a look at our News & Information Blog which is updated each week with the latest info for our church and beyond!
