Lest we forget

This Easter weekend we’re looking at how John portrays the incredible story of Jesus’ death and resurrection and the good news that this proclaims for all people everywhere.

May we truly know the life, the peace and the joy that Jesus brings this Easter.

Our Easter Sunday session will premiere at our usual time (10am). We hope you can join us then.

Easter has arrived – unlike any Easter we have celebrated in our lifetime.

Instead of meeting together to take communion and celebrate the wonderful thing that Jesus has done, we are continuing to stay at home to help contain the spread of COVID-19.

While we cannot meet face-to-face at this time, may you still know the loving presence of God. May you take the time this long weekend to read and to meditate on the incredible sacrifice that Jesus made on our behalf.

We’ve been looking at John’s account of Jesus’ final days and messages to his followers.

What happened to Jesus was not an accident but the fulfillment of God’s plans and purposes for our salvation.

When Jesus cried “It is finished” he gave up his life so that we could have life in His name.

Join us tomorrow at our 10am premiere for Good Friday.

Read all of John 16 – even though my message will be focused on the last few verses.

Even though we should expect trouble in this world, take heart – for Jesus has overcome the world!!!

Update for 20 March:

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and rapid changes in efforts to manage it’s spread, the service for this Sunday 22nd March is cancelled so we can complete an updated risk assessment and best plan arrangements going forward.
