From Rev Iain Baxter, All Saints Chiang Mai
Dear Friends,
This week our Gospel reading is Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son, and this will be the focus of our sermon and worship. The parable is a beautiful illustration of God’s love and forgiveness – we all have much to be thankful for!
This Saturday, 5th May, Lillian Wong, who attends All Saints with her husband Cary, will be performing in a special dance performance called Deliverance. The two shows will be at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. at Chiang Mai University Arts Theater and are in aid of the School of Promise in Hang Dong.
Then next Wednesday at 3 p.m., a Great Decisionsmeeting at All Saints will discuss the subject of migration. This is lead by All Saints regular, Gayle Avant.
Finally, here again is advanced notice of our Easter Services for your diary:
Sunday 20th March.
11 a.m. Palm Sunday.
Thursday 24th March.
7:30 pm Maundy Thursday Service. This will be a time for quiet, candle-lit,
