Greetings for Easter 5, 2026
Dear Friends,
Today we were blessed with good weather for the Beating the Bounds walk in Fron. It was lovely to see people from our churches in Chirk and Fron, the Mission Area and the wider community. I was reminded of how important it is to stop and pray for our communities. It was lovely to have Hazel, our Mission Area Leader, with us.
This Sunday’s reading from John 14 brings us Jesus’ words of deep reassurance to his disciples. He tells them not to let their hearts be troubled, for he goes ahead to prepare a place for them, and he reminds them that he is the way, the truth and the life. In these verses we hear his promise that those who trust in him are never abandoned, and that in him we see the very heart of the Father. It is a passage full of hope, steadiness and the quiet confidence that Christ walks with us.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
Blessings
Matt
Vicar of Chirk
