We’d love to see you at one of our Easter services this Friday or Sunday

Matt Anderson shared with us on Friday night the sad story of slavery involved in the coco bean farming industry which supplies our chocolate. Matt gave us some great ways we can do something practical to help.

1. Join the ‘Cadbury Australia & NZ Fairtrade’ group on FaceBook.
2. Write a letter to Cadbury on their website requesting that they offer Fairtrade cholocalte here in Australia like they have in the UK. Do the same for Nestle, and Mars.
3. Buy Fairtrade chocolate this easter! Look for the symbol above on the chocolate. For a list of fair trade chocolate in Australia check here: http://www.donttradelives.com.au/dtl/Issues/Chocolate/files/pdf/ChocolateGuide.pdf
4. Learn more – check out the info at these sites:

Was Jesus a real historical figure? Is there any evidence? Check out a few snippets from the new DVD ‘Life of Jesus’ that helps us understand that Jesus really was a real man who walked this earth some 2000+ years ago!

A special 1 hour broadcast of the DVD will be shown on channel 7 at 1pm, April 10 (Good Friday). If you have family who aren’t Christians why not use this as an opportunity to talk to them about Jesus over Easter!
