Cross Craft Challenge from Carol

Look at this amazing selection of crosses Carol found...

Your challenge over the holidays is to create your own cross art, either inspired by one of the options below, or come up with your own original idea. Send me a photo of your cross and we'll put them on the blog and share them with everyone at church.

Here's a message from Carol:

And the risen Christ is why we have crosses on and in our churches – to remind us that Jesus died for us, and more importantly, he rose again. 

And remember when you are eating Easter eggs – they symbolise the stone that was rolled away revealing the empty tomb.

Let us pray

God, you loved this world so much,

That you gave your one and only Son,

That we might be called your children too.

May we realise today what Jesus’ death and resurrection mean to us.

The risen Jesus has given us new life and renewed hope.

Help us to live in the gladness and grace of Easter Sunday, everyday.

Let us have hearts of thankfulness for your sacrifice.

Grant us blessings of love, hope, peace, good health and happiness.

Help us to walk in Your grace and share the good news of the empty tomb.

In the name of Jesus, the Risen God,

Amen.

Thanks, Carol! You can check out Carol's full Awesome Time message on our Parish Facebook Page.

Check out the previous blog post which has a video of the Easter story to watch. You can also read the Resurrection story for yourself in the Bible. You can find it in the book of Matthew, chapter 28, verses 1-10.
