EASTER SERVICE – 2012
Sometimes it is difficult to talk about pain. But pain is something we all understand. Particularly, the pain of love.
Often when we seek to share the good news of the Easter story we go straight to the sunrise on Easter Sunday, the hope of life eternal. We skim over the hours of darkness, the agony of the nails and the finality of Jesus’ cry, “It is finished.”
What we encounter on Good Friday though is the triumph of death. It is evidenced in blood and shouted by a dark sky. And it is in entering into this darkness, that we realise just how powerful the dawn of Easter Sunday is. This Easter we hope to bring people face-to-face with the Easter story – both the dark and light.
Friday, April 6th: Good Friday Service – 9am
Blackwood Uniting Church with Rev Christine Garner
Sunday, April 8th: Easter Sunday Service – 10am
Blackwood Uniting Church with Rev Christine Garner and including Holy Communion.
