Easter at Christ Church
As a Church we're really excited to be preparing to celebrate Easter. It's a time of sober reflection and great celebration as we remember the death and subsequent resurrection of Jesus Christ who died to give us eternal life and allow us to share in the inheritance of the Kingdom of heaven.
