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.

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. In association with <strong>Costa</strong> Cálida International Radio and www.angloINFO.com Page 84 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.
