Rend Collective sing a song called ‘Celebrate’ reminding us that we are called to praise God in every situation (see 1 Thess 5:17). Over this Easter weekend, there is so much to celebrate, for Jesus has died for us and because of this we are now reconciled to God! No matter what difficulties, troubles or trials we face, we know Jesus is the Victor and that the work of the cross is finished.
We’ll be holding a Communion service tonight (Good Friday) at 6 p.m. It’s good to pause in our busy lives and give thanks for the most significant day in history, when Jesus died to take away our sins.
Tomorrow (Saturday 26th March), the coffee morning will be on at 10 a.m. as usual, but we’ll also be involved with the ‘Churches Together’ March of Hope around Goldthorpe, leaving church at 10.15 a.m. Join with us and Christians from other churches to sing God’s praises in our community and to give out goody bags. We want to be salt and light in our community and it’s good to demonstrate that our God is alive to local residents!
After the march (which won’t be strenuous – we’ll be stopping off regularly to sing and engage in conversations!), we’ll be having lunch at GPCC on Market Street. Come along and have fellowship with Christians from all denominations and celebrate the relationships that we have because of Jesus! The cake decorators from the Salvation Army have been busy making us an Easter cake, and there are other goodies on offer…
On Easter Sunday, services will be at 10.30 a.m. and 6 p.m. Although many people are away on holiday, let’s celebrate loudly and exuberantly because Jesus is alive!
