Happy Easter to you all We just wanted to say a brief message to wish you all a Happy and Blessed Easter time. Again as the years roll it's time to particularly remember and celebrate the most incredible event in world history. It really is staggering what lengths God went to to provide a rescue for mankind. The words of the famous hymn ring strong: Love so amazing, so divine, demands my life my soul my all! We pray that this Easter time God would humble our hearts, and set us on fire again with passion to live for Christ, proclaim Christ and suffer for Christ until we meet him in glory. We also wanted to thank you for your prayers over the past month, but particularly for the joint winter camp. It really was a blessed occasion. I won't say too much as the official Acorncamps Newsletter should be arriving at your door or inbox soon. [Please email us if you don't receive this and would like to] That contains a full 2-page spread on the weekend with great praise and thanks to God for all His work, love and grace. Easter Weekend We also wanted to let you know of our planned whereabouts over the Easter weekend in case you are in the area and would like to say hello, we'd be delighted to see you there.
