We are set free *PLUS Finberry Launch coming up

March 27th, 2026

Dear church family

As we enter into 'Holy Week,' which spans from Palm Sunday (this Sunday) to Easter Sunday (next Sunday), and prepare our hearts for the celebration on Easter Sunday, we are reminded that the story of Easter is not simply an event to celebrate but a truth to live in every day. When the women went to the tomb the angels told them:

'Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: "The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again."' (Luke 24:5b-7)

On Maundy Thursday we remember the last meal Jesus had with His disciples where they broke bread and shared wine being told to do the same in remembrance of Him. The disciples were then asked to watch and pray as Jesus went into the garden of Gethsemane asking God to take the cup of suffering away from him. From 7pm until midnight we will be watching, praying and worshipping seeing through until midnight. We'd love you to join with us and fast on Maundy Thursday.

On Good Friday, we remember the cross. We remember this great act of love where Jesus was willing to take on our sin, our shame, our separation, so that we can stand forgiven and free. Jesus didn't die so we can live slightly improved lives – He died so we could be made new and that there no longer was a separation between us and God.
Easter morning shouts the truth that darkness does not have the final say. The tomb is empty. Death has been defeated. Hope has been resurrected. Wherever things may look broken, buried, or beyond repair in your life – Easter reminds us that God's power to bring life out of death is not just historic, it's present!

As we celebrate Easter as a family may we remember that Jesus is alive! We are set free! Let us therefore walk in that freedom He paid for with His life. Let us receive the love demonstrated on that cross and worship our King together!

Lots of love,

Katie
