You are invited to join us in Bracknell this Easter for a collection of services and celebrations – there is something for everyone as we explore what it means to be truly alive.

Family Easter Journey - 3:00 pm-6:00 pm

An interactive walk-through for families with children under 11. Scroll to the next section of this page to find out more and book your place.

Easter Journey - 7:30 pm-9:00 pm

This year we have curated prayer stations around the Kerith Centre for an hour of personal reflection on the last week of Jesus's life and the events surrounding the Crucifixion. Come together as a small group, family or friends and journey through the stations together, or as an individual for more private reflection. At 8:30 pm we will congregate to worship together for the last half an hour before releasing those who are unable to stay on for the half night of prayer. 

Prayer Space - 9:00 pm-midnight

As a community these extended times to pray together are precious, especially on the eve of Holy weekend. Join us as we pray "Your Kingdom Come" for our world, our local community, our church and ourselves. All are welcome- come for half an hour, an hour or the whole evening. 

Family Easter Journey

Friday 18th April, 3:00 pm-6:00 pm

A fun, reflective and interactive journey for all ages – suitable for adults with children under 11 – to experience the Easter Bible story.

Crafts, Easter activities and hot cross buns will be served too!

This is a free event but you will need to book a ticket in advance. To stagger the event, tickets will be booked as a timed entry in 15-minute slots. The trail will last roughly 1 hour, but you are welcome to go around at your own pace.

Easter Sunday All-Age Celebration

Sunday 20th April

You are invited to celebrate with us on Easter Sunday as we meet together and explore the meaning of Easter. It’ll be a time of worship, fun, and a short message.

We will be having two meetings this Easter Sunday, all ages will be together for both of these services (with no kids groups taking place): There will also be an Easter Egg Treasure Hunt for the children in between the two meetings.

9:30 am-10:30 am
11:30 am-12:30 pm

At both meetings, we will be hosting Baptisms! If you’d like to know more about that and sign up, head to our Baptism page.

Why Easter?

  • We celebrate Easter because we are celebrating the death of Jesus for our Sin and His magnificent resurrection from the tomb! We are celebrating Jesus as the Son of God. With Him being risen from the dead, it means that He’s living and thus preparing a special place in Heaven for all of his believers. Others may celebrate the true cause while also celebrating a reason to get together as a family, honouring Him with their own traditions and rejoicing in the Lord.

  • Although it remains unclear where Easter got its name, some argue that it has to do with the pagan goddess of Spring, Eostre, who was believed to be worshipped by the Saxons before Jesus was born. Others suggest it has more to do with a derivative of the word “erstehen,” an older form of the word “auferstehen” which is a German word for “Resurrection.”

  • There are various important reasons why the death and resurrection of Jesus is so important:

    Jesus’ death replays the story of Adam and Eve except Jesus is successful over Sin through His obedience in dying on the cross.

    Jesus’ death satisfies the adoration we could not fully give to God.

    Jesus’ death took on the debt that we owed because of the wrong things we do.

    Jesus’ death and resurrection is a triumph over evil and the devil.

    Jesus’ lived a pure, blameless, sinless life and therefore sets the example for us to live by.

    Jesus died as our representative and substitute, and takes away the penalty meant for us.
