HOLY WEEK '24
It's easy for us to look ahead to Easter Sunday and simply not pay attention to Jesus' final days on earth. Holy Week is a significant week, in which we encourage you to allow space to reflect on the suffering and agony; Jesus' tears of blood in the garden; the shattered hopes of His followers; the darkness and silence in the space between His death and resurrection.
​
So, let's not rush into Easter, let's invite the Holy Spirit to meet us in every part of Holy Week. Here are a few ways we can do this in community.

Good Friday Gatherings Friday 29th March, 9:30am Bensville & Tumbi
The one day of Holy Week we call 'good' is actually the darkest, most painful day. Whilst we remember Jesus' sacrificial death for humanity; we sit in the heaviness and utter hopelessness that His followers would have been feeling as they watched the promised messiah crucified.
Easter Sunday Sunday 31st March, 9:30am Bensville & Tumbi

The day we, as followers of Jesus, celebrate the continuation of the story of reconciliation. Easter Sunday is a joyful day where we remember that death is not the end of the story of Jesus! God's love carries through, and death loses its sting in the resurrection promise.
