Welcome to St John's Gravesend

EASTER MESSAGE:

- "If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith". 1 Cor. 15:14

The Easter season resonates with the message of hope to all Christian believers.

- Christ in us is the hope of glory (Col. 1:27).

Our birth would have been no gain, had we not been redeemed. Christ paid the price once and for all at Calvary with His precious blood. At Easter, therefore, we celebrate our belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This celebration is the most important festival in the Christian calendar.

It celebrates God raising his only begotten Son from the domain of death, destroying the power of sin and death forever. This mystery has opened heaven for all humanity with the gift of eternal life. This year, in a very special way, we are very grateful to God that we can physically and actively participate in the Lenten journey towards this great Easter Festival, despite the challenges and difficulties of the lockdown and the covid 19 pandemic.

As we gradually enter the holiest season, we ask God to bestow his blessings and favours upon every one of us. Most of us have made enormous sacrifices in different ways to keep the Church running despite these challenging times. We are very grateful to all the cleaners, stewards, lectors, Eucharistic ministers, altar servers, the live streaming team, secretary, Catechist, Liturgy group, and especially those whose sacrifices are unnoticed.

We are indeed grateful and appreciative of all your sacrifices.

May the joy of the risen Lord always be with you.

With love and prayers,

Frs Moses MSP & Walter MSP
