Easter Message from our minister Gill Hulme

Dear Friends,
Have you ever wondered whether if you were in the disciple’s shoes that first Good Friday, you would have behaved differently? We are told that in the Garden of Gethsemane, they ran away. They were a dispirited, scared, rag tag and bobtail group. One even denied all knowledge of Jesus. And yet, they were transformed into courageous preachers, filled with the Holy Spirit, people who would themselves be prepared to die for their faith. How did this happen? Well they had an encounter with the risen Christ, and were changed forever.
I wonder how your encounter with our Risen Lord might transform you? Because make no mistake, God’s love in Christ changes our outlook, and indeed our whole being!
As we journey through Holy Week and Good Friday to the joy of the resurrection on Easter morning, I hope and pray you will be transformed and blessed by knowing God’s love for you this Easter.

Every blessing Gill Hulme
