Questions we discussed in Small Groups:

- What difference does the fact that Jesus died and rose again make to you?
- Takeaway Question: How can we share this Good News with others this week?
Prayer Pointers
- Pray that we will be filled with the Holy Spirit to bear faithful witness to Christ’s resurrection in our words and deeds.
- Pray for those you know, either from St John’s or the wider church, who are serving full time in mission. Pray that they will be sent on their way in a manner worthy of God. (3 John)
Closing Thought: How does being aware of Jesus desire for us to be witnesses help you understand your own calling? Ask God for the courage to leaving your comfort zone and share the Good News that Jesus died and rose again with someone else this Easter.
