Easter services at Summer Hill Church

"His wounds have healed us."
Jesus is remarkable. People often think of him as a great teacher, healer or thinker. But Jesus saw his own death as the key thing he did.
The events of the first Easter were horrific: Jesus faced betrayal and abandonment by his closest friends, false accusations and ultimately an unjust execution. On the surface, Jesus' death was a disaster. Many people thought he could not be from God because of the way he died. But there is more to understand.
Jesus saw that in his death he was facing God's judgement. Not because he deserved it, but because each of us do. Hundreds of years earlier the prophet Isaiah wrote 'he was pierced because of our wrong doing' and that 'his wounds have healed us.' It is by Jesus' death and his rising to new life that we can have healing, forgiveness and peace with God and each other. Come along to one of our church services this Easter to hear more about this great news, we'd love to meet you.

It was great to have Mark Fairhurst from CMS with us on Sunday. It was an excellent reminder of the missionary task we are all part of and are to be engaged in wherever we are.

For our Rev Chris Braga, it was a case of fulfilling a need that he felt hadn't been met in the neighbourhood. "One of our church members had expressed frustration at the lack of such an event happening in Summer Hill, so I felt it was the perfect opportunity for us as a church to facilitate this.
"People often find themselves turning up on election day wishing they knew more about the candidates, what they stand for, what their vision is for the community, or how they intend to represent their constituents in Parliament. I personally felt it was important that people be educated and informed about those who wish to gain their vote and represent them, and I for one am thrilled that our church can provide such an opportunity for the neighbourhood."
The event will be held inside our church building next Monday 21 March, 7.15 for a 7.30pm start. Tea and coffee will be provided. All welcome.
