Today we celebrate how important the world is to our God.

His Son Jesus willingly went to the Cross, pouring out his life for us all.

After he died and was buried, he rose from the dead.

That is the Good News we proclaim this Easter in Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield and all over the world.

Jesus offers us hope and opens the gates of heaven promising life beyond measure to those who die.

Easter is the revelation to us of God's love and of our destiny to be with him for ever.

On a personal note, this is my first Easter in Welwyn Garden City.

I want to thank everyone who has made me feel so much at home already.

I wish all your readers and their loved ones every blessing this Easter.

May God's light and love shine out upon you.
