Easter services around Lindfield - 2024

Life out of death. Every springtime long-buried bulbs burst out of the ground in glorious colour. And creation reminds us of a simple but life-giving truth: Two thousand years ago Jesus of Nazareth was crucified for our sins. He was buried. And on the third day rose again. Today He offers His ‘forever-life’ to anyone. This Easter come and meet the risen Jesus, perhaps for the first time!
