Verse of the Week
The light that is streaming through air all around,
Which sparkling and gleaming, now warms the earth’s ground,
Reveals the stars’ handwork where flowers abound.
And, wondrous and radiant, an Angel I see.
He shines with God’s light and he smiles upon me.
It is I! He it is whom I one day will be,
In my heavenly mantle, from darkness set free!
From – In the Light of a Child,
Michael Hedley Burton

NOTICES
Mountshannon Arts Festival:
This year’s festival will run from 24th May – 5th June
We have a great line up of music, drama, visual art, poetry, dancing, films and workshops.
The brochure is available in local shops – In the meantime, do have a look at the website, where you will find a lot of information already and we are updating it regularly. Of course we are also on Facebook. See links below.
Tickets for some events can be bought online, via the link we have on our website.
In order for the festival to be a success, and to continue and grow into the future, we really do need your support.
As well as coming to some [or all ;-)] of the events, another way to show your support will be to purchase and wear one of our wristbands for the duration of the festival. This will give you entry to all ‘Free’ events, and enter you into the Big Raffle.
Let’s hope the weather will be as beautiful then as it is now….with a few showers in between overnight for us gardeners.
All the best
Stephen
