Under the Olive Tree
Lent and Easter Conversations
Step with me back in time, over 2000 years back. Look around you. The land is dotted with olive trees, their silvery foliage swaying with the gentle breeze. It's warm, not too hot. The full on blaze of summer hasn't arrived yet, but the harshness of winter is fading.
The fields are tinged with green, with the olive trees providing shade for weary travellers. You sit down on one of the many rocks scattered all over the fields. Jesus and his friends are resting in the shade of a sycamore tree. They have walked from Jericho, and it's a steep climb up to Jerusalem.
The journey towards Easter is just beginning…
This Easter and Lent season, we have a range of resources to support your church. This central story is an important one for the church to explore together, across the generations. We want to help you make that happen! Over the next few months we will be profiling our range of resources and ideas, all free for you to download and use.
We also encourage you to get in touch with us if you would like us to come and run a service at your church. We love the opportunity to bring the generations together around the Bible - because we have seen first hand how significant and powerful those moments can be!
