Holy Saturday
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” John 3:16 (ESV)
On this Holy Saturday, we wait in quiet anticipation, holding onto the hope of resurrection and return. Rev Christopher Chan, Acting Vicar of St Andrew’s Cathedral, has this to say:
On Holy Saturday, we find ourselves in a period of waiting: the darkness of Good Friday still surrounds us as we yearn for the joy of Easter Sunday. Perhaps this mirrors an ongoing painful experience from which we long to be delivered? May we wait patiently for redemption and vindication from God, holding fast to the hope of resurrection life in the new creation, where we shall see His face and rejoice in His presence forevermore. (From Ever Changing World, Never Changing Word: Daily Devotions for Lent 2024)
Blessed Good Friday
“For while we were still weak, at the right time God died for the ungodly.” Romans 5:6
Good Friday – It is good because we who are sinners have a good, good God who died for our sins.
For those who wish to recapitulate what the Holy Week is all about (for which the Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday stand as the resultant endpoints) please see our blog post on “The Holy Week of Lent.”
Blessed Good Friday to all from EAST President, Faculty, Staff and Students!

Caleb & Esther’s New Chapter Ahead
Caleb & Esther are both closely related to EAST. Caleb has served in EAST for the past nine years and Esther is an alumna who first entered EAST while still battling cancer and graduated with a Master of Divinity while her cancer went into remission. They were both singles then but now, they are married with two kids and in May, their young family will be moving to a Creative Access Country to serve for at least five years, Lord willing.
Below is a short interview with them to understand how the Lord has led them and for them to share their prayer needs.
