Happy Easter


As a Christian, Easter is the most important and significant time of year for me.  It is a time to remember all that the Cross of Calvary means and also a time to re-affirm my faith and give thanks for sooooooo many things.

It has become a tradition in recent years to have a Bring & Share lunch on Easter Sunday, accompanied by an Easter egg hunt around my house.  On Saturday I hid approx. 200 mini eggs around the house and before food was served there was much pandemonium as 25+ students and friends ran around trying to discover all my hiding places.

Bring & Share lunches are the most wonderful thing because you never know what delicacies you're going to get ... it's always a taste explosion!!!

The day was made additionally special because it was Sonali's birthday.






That evening we had a baptism service at St Mark's.  Three people were getting baptised by full emersion and Sonali had decided to renew her vows.  Here she is preparing to give her testimony ...

Little did Sonali know that her special, special day was far from over ... she had a surprise party waiting for her back on campus!!
