St Barnabas Easter 2015

Happy Easter from St Barnabas Bromborough We are your local parish church.

Come and join us this Easter.

Free Easter egg hunt.

He is risen – Alleluia!

A letter from Revd. Jenny Gillies

This Easter, we look forward to welcoming you into St Barnabas, your local church.

We are a church that has new life and new hope. It is a good place to be. I hope that you will join with me in filling our church so that can experience together the joy of being a community.

We have arranged lots of different activities which are aimed at all ages and are suitable for different types of people. We look forward to welcoming many of you to our Palm Sunday parade service and our Easter day service, both of which are aimed at all ages. If you prefer quieter things we have the Good Friday meditation and the First Communion of Easter (see opposite for details).

On Easter day Christians celebrate Jesus coming back to life after being killed by crucifixion on the cross. It is the most important Christian festival, and the one celebrated with the greatest joy. That is because his death and ‘resurrection’ is at the centre of our faith.

It is an amazing story but I live every day knowing that it is not just a fairy tale. Jesus is alive and when we put our faith and trust in him we can experience a greater peace and know the promise of life with him always. That is a hope that the world cannot give.

Do come and join us for worship, for the Easter egg hunt or for a cup of tea in the centre café. I very much hope to see you.

Meanwhile, may God bless you and those whom you love, this Easter and always, Jenny
