Easter 2009 at the Churches in Great Crosby

The Churches of Great Crosby invite you to join them. We welcome you to share with us in worship this Easter time. In our services we will be reliving the momentous events when Jesus was arrested, tried, crucified, buried and rose from the dead. We wish you God's Love, Peace and Salvation through the Cross.

Easter Reflection

Easter is a time of joy when, after the sadness of Holy Week, we celebrate the fact that Jesus has risen. We pray for peace in our world at this time, particularly remembering all who face conflict. We pray for the Church this Easter – may Christians everywhere find joy in the message of the risen Christ. Lord be with us all at this special time, and let us thank God for Jesus, who overcame death and gave us the gift of eternal life through Him.
