Easter At St Swithin's
We love inspiring stories, particularly stories where people have overcome adversity to triumph. Yet, any objective look at the world sees that we have lots of challenges, wars around us, a culture of meanness and vanity in the digital world, an epidemic of loneliness and confusion, and constantly living with fear and anxiety both now and in the future.
Where do we find hope? 2000 years ago a man walked out of a grave into a garden that changed history forever.
Join us this Easter to discover a life-transforming story of grave to garden, that offers us that same life-changing hope today.
