Good Friday

Good Friday is a Christian holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus on this day more than 2000 years ago, Jesus died for the sins of the world.

Jesus was flogged, tortured and forced to carry a cross to the site of his own execution where he would be crucified under Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea.

Jesus led a path of service and love; even in his death, it was the salvation of others.

Wishing all those that celebrate a blessed Good Friday!

Remembrance Day – Lest We Forget

In Flanders Fields

BY John McCrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
        In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
        In Flanders fields.
