The Uniting Church Assembly is delighted to release the 2025 Easter message from President Rev Charissa Suli, here to give hope and inspiration to you and your community this Easter season! Inspired by the women who faithfully came to the tomb in the early morning and had their sorrow transformed into joy, the President calls to us to rise from our tombs and live as Easter people. "The tomb – once a symbol of defeat – became the birthplace of courage. They came grieving and afraid and were called from their sorrow. They rose up. They ran and they proclaimed. Fear gave way to faith. Despair gave way to purpose." "And now, the question comes to us: What tombs are we living in? The tomb of fear? Of division? Of hopelessness?" "We must rise now and speak words of healing into a world torn apart. Act with courage where the vulnerable are forgotten. Love without limits. Serve without fear. Hope without hesitation." We invite Uniting Church communities to download, watch together and share the message on or around Easter Day. You can download it from Vimeo, watch it on our website or click the image below. This holiest of Christian seasons, let's "live boldly as people of new life, strong in courage and relentless in love." May the joy of the risen Christ bring you peace and renew your spirit this Easter! |
