The Stations of the Cross are a way of reminding us of what happened on Jesus’ way to the cross. There are fifteen stations in total, and these consist of meditations and prayer.

We end this time with the Holy Communion. The message we convey through all this is “GOD LOVES ESTCOURT.”
In the midst of challenges we experience at a personal, marriage, family, church, and community level, the message is unchanging: GOD LOVES ESTCOURT.
“God shows his love for us in that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for our sins,” (Romans 5:8.)

We join hands with everyone in Estcourt, who pray for our town. We may not all be given an opportunity to preach the gospel in public, but we can all set aside time to pray for our beloved town.
I take this opportunity to invite the faithful in Estcourt for the Stations of the Cross every Wednesday at 5:30pm at St Matthew’s Anglican Church on the corner of Lorne and Connor streets.
On Human Rights Day, March 21 Stations of the Cross will commence at 9am, and during holy week ahead of Easter, March 26 to March 28 it will begin at 5:30pm.

The church is also open daily for those who want to pray for themselves, their families and for the town of Estcourt.
You are all invited and welcome to pray that God displays His love for our town in Christ Jesus.
With love and warm wishes.
