Olive Branch Christian Fellowship
An Evangelical, lively and friendly place
to discover the love of Jesus.
It is good to see justice done is it not? Amanda
Knox and her past boyfriend are released on
appeal four years after the poor girl Meredith
Kercher was killed… by someone. Perhaps
the other person still in prison…makes you
wonder. Meanwhile Michael Jackson’s doctor’s
trial is labouring on and on, but I’m not going
to get into that because I think it is clear that
Michael Jackson was a very unhappy person
and poorly supported and advised. Perhaps
this is where his doctors failed him?
I heard a story once of a man who was
arrested and tried at a time of day and in a
manner which was against the laws of the
time. He was abused while in custody and
suffered greatly at the hands of his accusers.
No official charges were brought against
him as no two witnesses could agree on
their recollection of the ‘facts’. In the end,
while themselves breaking their own laws,
the lawmakers and keepers of the peace
condemned the man to death. It is amazing
really that it happened at all. On top of that
they decided that this innocent man who
had done nothing wrong …oh.. but he had
challenged those in authority to clean-up
their act and stop being hypocrites. They
decided that he should die like a common
criminal…no chance of appeal here! What was
his name again?
“You won’t talk to me?” Pilate demanded.
“Don’t you realize that I have the power to
release you or to crucify you?” Then Jesus
said “You would have no power over me at
all unless it were given to you from above…”
John 19v10…God knows what He’s about.
Also known as the Bolnuevo Sardine festival.

THE PILGRIMAGE OF MIRACLE TO BE HELD ON
NOVEMBER 27
A large group
of citizens of
Mazarrón, met
on 31 August
at the local
Residents Association,
Bolnuevo,
with the
Mayor of Mazarrón,
Ginés
Campillo and
it was unanimously
decided
to delay
the conclusion
of the Pilgrimage
Miracle a
week, in order
to avoid the
popular festival coinciding with the polls for the
General Election. In an act of commitment to
the residents of the municipality, the Mayor,
accompanied by First Deputy Mayor, Francisco
Garcia and Council of Celebration, Isidro Coy,
presented the pros and cons.
The Bolnuevo neighbourhood associations,
and representatives of the Confraternity of La
Purisima, the Head of Bolnuevo, José Antonio
González, and other neighbours who are actively
involved in organizing these festivities,
concluded that delaying the pilgrimage a week
did not pose a conflict for the party. On the
contrary, dozens of people are flocking from all
parts of the region to attend this celebration,
so it was decided to transfer the pilgrimage
from 20 to 27 November.

Our Sunday morning service at the Community
Centre on Camposol ‘B’ starts at 10.30am
each week and offers a variety of music and
styles, both traditional and modern. You are
invited to join us.
This large festival day will take place the same
weekend of the pilgrimage, that is, on Friday
25 and Saturday 26. What will not change is
the bringing down of the Virgin from Bolnuevo
to Mazarrón, which as always will be on the
Sunday before November 17, which this year
falls on Sunday 13.
The 17th November is the day of the Miracle
will stay as a public holiday in the municipality
and, as usual, there will be the usual traditions
carried out. The Immaculate Conception,
affectionately called “Virgen del Milagro” by the
residents of Bolnuevo, will spend a week at the
Shrine of the Immaculate de Mazarrón, something
that has never happened before. Both
the City Council and neighbourhood associations
of Bolnuevo are once again determined to
make the festival that is attended by hundreds
of people every year as successful as previous
years.
For full details of the fiesta, contact the Tourist
Office in Mazarrón.
