Sunday April 9th


Easter Sunday



Christ is risen! Christ is risen, indeed! The last question in our Lenten series is "Who are you looking for?" If it is Jesus, don't look where you think he is. He is not there. He is risen. And he is revealed today in all kinds of places that people don't expect. Come and see. Or, maybe, come and be reminded where to look!

Christ is risen. Christ is risen, indeed.
