A big thank you to the Prisons’ Minister, Edward Argar and Bishop Rachel The Diocese of Gloucester for visiting our Gloucester Women's Centre and HMP Eastwood Park.

We were delighted to showcase the vital work of The Nelson Trust, and highlighting the life-changing support we provide.

God is the victor over death, even his own death, in Jesus. Everything changed.

And so our understanding of Jesus must change: he was not just a great teacher or a good man, but God revealing God. The one they knew had been raised from death.

Thank you for all you have done to share the love of Christ with your congregations and communities this Lent and Easter.
