What are Easter Readings groups?
Easter Readings Groups are small spiritual discussion groups, based around an email program we offer called Easter Readings. If you haven't already subscribed, please sign up to receive Easter readings.
Come closer to the Lord.
In the weeks before Easter, we can draw closer to God by discovering a deeper understanding of the Easter story. Jesus said, “I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to Myself.” (John 12:32)
Understand His story.
The Easter story is about how Jesus rose from death, and also about how we can be changed and uplifted to find more peace, happiness, and connection. To get the most out of the readings, you can share them with others in a small group.
Share the journey.
Jesus said, “Where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20) Make a closer connection with the Lord by reading His story together and sharing insights with each other.
