Alive this Easter... |
Dear All,
Here is everything you need to know.
We are so excited about the potential to reach so many with the good news this Easter that Jesus is Alive. Go on a journey to meet Jesus’ first followers as they discover for themselves that Jesus is Alive. Then find out more from some of his present-day followers who have been transformed by their encounters with the risen Jesus.
Where could you run the series? Who could you invite?
From just meeting with a friend at lunchtime, running it in Costa or in a life group or centrally in your church.
-
Grab the book and be inspired!
-
Order the newspaper to give out everywhere, your street, your community or in your local café?
Everything is here so that every age group can get involved, children and families, young people, students and the whole church.
Let’s work together to make Easter impactful and ensure everyone realises that Jesus is Alive.
Enjoy,
Rachel Jordan-Wolf
Executive Director, Hope Together
WHY ALIVE |
Take a look
The five film episodes unpack the resurrection appearances of Jesus; Transformed by Love, Surprised by Hope, Filled with Peace, Living in Freedom, and Fulfilling Our Purpose. Afterwards participants get a chance to discuss and there is small group material to equip leaders and guide conversations.
Take a first look at the trailer to get a taste of what’s to come.
We also have a preview episode for you to see how the series works. Watch episode three. Other episodes are coming soon.

Read all about it
This Alive newspaper, which takes its look and feel from a Zine, is filled with powerful testimonies from the Alive series and evidence for the resurrection. It invites the reader to discover the risen Jesus. It will help you advertise the Alive series or get a conversation going with a friend or neighbour. Ideal for outreach and going door to door in your community.

Alive In depth
To support the series there is an Alive book by Dave Smith. It is a compelling invitation to truly come alive through an encounter with the risen Jesus, and Dave unpacks how, like those who first met the resurrected Jesus, you, too can be transformed by love, surprised by hope, filled with peace, released to live in freedom and empowered to fulfil your purpose in life.
