Easter Reflections in the Countryside: A Weekend with Rev. Mpore Maneno.
This Easter, we had the privilege of spending the holiday with retired Rev. Mpore Maneno at his serene rural home. Settled in the quiet beauty of the countryside, his place offered the perfect backdrop for a weekend of reflection, renewal, and heartfelt connection.
Rev. Maneno, though retired, continues to radiate wisdom and warmth. His stories of ministry and life experiences were both humbling and inspiring. The peaceful surroundings, free from the hustle of the city, gave us time to reconnect not only with one another but also with the deeper meaning of Easter.
As we returned home, we carried with us not only Rev. Maneno words but also a renewed spirit—grateful for the past, present, and the hope Easter always brings.
