Good Friday
Bob Dylan once wrote a song describing the reality that every single person in the world—no matter their wealth or station or authority or success in life—is ‘gonna have to serve somebody.’ He was right. This Easter we are reminding ourselves of this sobering reality, and God’s resulting great salvation in Jesus by exploring two phrases: “In Adam” and “In Christ”. The Bible teaches that each one of us are living in one of these two realities, and which one makes all the difference in the world! Join us Easter weekend as we unpack this fundamental biblical truth and its implication for our lives.
Friday April 18: “In Adam” one 10am Good Friday Service (Childcare for 2-5 year olds with nursery open for parents to monitor their babies)
