Easter is Love

What are you hungry for this easter?

The Queensland Synod, in association with Paradigm Studios, has produced a video to complement the 2011 Easter postcard theme 'Hungry? Satisfy your sweet tooth and your soul this Easter'.

The video is for use in church, school and agency meetings and gatherings and worship services in the lead up to Easter. It encourages discussion on the meaning of Easter for different people and helps give positive examples of ways of talking about faith, Easter and Christianity.
