The Good Friday event in Chelmsford City Centre was nothing short of amazing! We were blessed with perfect weather, which set the tone for a day filled with joy and reflection. The atmosphere was incredibly inviting, and there was an overwhelming sense of peace that enveloped everyone present.

Prior to the day itself, team who were available, met on the evening before for a time of worship, prayer and training focussing on why we were holding the event and dedicating the day to God asking for strength and favour and giving thanks for those who would commit their lives to Jesus.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to the around 100 volunteers who came together to make this event such a success. Their enthusiasm and dedication ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to focus on celebrating the truth that Friday’s Good ‘cause Sunday is coming! From setting up, to serving food and engaging with the community, they truly made a difference, and we couldn’t have done it without them.
During the event, we gave out hundreds of hot cross buns, cups of hot chocolate, and Easter eggs — treats that were undoubtedly enjoyed by all.

In terms of outreach, we distributed 300 Gospels and Bibles, many folk were prayed for and prophetic words given. Most excitingly, there were over 30 salvations and recommitments and numerous healings. We have followed up responses made to encourage people to connect with churches in the area.
All in all, the Good Friday event was a true celebration of faith, fellowship, and community coming together .
