Easter Sunday Divine Service
Encounter with the risen Christ
On Sunday 5 April 2026, Rector Priest Clinton Thomas conducted the Easter Sunday Divine Service. Priest Isaac Latergan was called to serve along.
Bible text John 20:17-18
"Jesus instructs Mary Magdalene not to cling to Him because He has not yet ascended to the Father, telling her to instead inform the disciples that He is ascending to "My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God."
Message: The resurrection is central to our faith.
Summary:
■ The resurrection of Jesus Christ confirms His divine Sonship and the gospel.
■ The resurrection is the foundation of our faith.
■ Let us share the joy of the resurrection with our neighbour.
The bible reading was taken from Mark 16:1–15 and was read by Adene Abelse (confirmation 1 learner)
The Rector made time to greet the members after the divine service and all were invited to an Easter egg hunt.
