Easter at CBC - Given at Great Cost
This Easter, our theme is “Given at Great Cost”—an invitation to journey through Holy Week by reflecting on the physical, spiritual, and emotional cost that Jesus and His followers bore in the lead-up to the cross.
The events of Holy Week are some of the most powerful and moving moments in all of Scripture. For Jesus, it meant betrayal, suffering, and death. For His disciples, it was a week filled with fear, confusion, and loss. And yet, through all of it, we see a love so deep, and obedience so complete, that it changed everything.
As we walk through this week together, we want to pause each day to truly appreciate the cost—and in doing so, deepen our gratitude for the One who gave everything for us.
Join us for a series of short evening Easter Meditations (30 minutes) through Holy Week, each centred on a specific theme. All meditations begin at 8pm, except Saturday’s morning reflection at 9am.
Easter Mediations
Monday 14th April | 8pm | The Cost of Popularity (Matthew 21:1–13)
We begin with Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. A moment of triumph quickly turns sobering as we consider the fleeting nature of popularity and the eternal worth of obedience.
Tuesday 15th April | 8pm | The Cost of the Pocket (Mark 11:15–17; 14:1–9)
From temple cleansing to extravagant perfume, we reflect on worship that is sacrificial and genuine, rather than self-serving.
Wednesday 16th April | 8pm | The Cost of Humility (John 13:1–17)
Through the washing of feet, Jesus shows us that true greatness comes through humility and service—pointing us toward the ultimate act of love on the cross.
Thursday 17th April | 8pm | The Cost of Betrayal (Matthew 26:14–25; 47–50)
Judas’s betrayal wasn’t just about money; it was the rejection of grace and trust. This powerful meditation reminds us of the weight of disloyalty and the price Jesus paid for our freedom.
Saturday 18th April | 9am | The Cost of Separation (Mark 15:33-47)
As we sit in the silence of Easter Saturday, we reflect on the profound loss and grief that followed Jesus' death - and how even in separation, God was at work.
Good Friday Communion: The Cost of Obedience
Friday 18th April | 8pm | Special Communion Service (approx. 1 hour)
Join us for a reflective and moving Good Friday Communion Service, as we remember Jesus’ ultimate act of obedience and love.
Through Scripture, prayer and Communion, we will pause at the foot of the cross to consider the immense physical, emotional, and spiritual cost Jesus bore for our sake.
“It is finished.”
The price is paid.
Easter Sunday: Given at Great Cost
Sunday 20th April | Breakfast from 9:30am | All-Age Celebration Service at 10:30am
Celebrate with us as we rejoice in the victory of resurrection and the new life that Jesus offers!
This will be a joyful and welcoming All-Age Easter Celebration, beginning with breakfast together, followed by a service filled with praise, hope, and the powerful reminder that Jesus’ resurrection changes everything.
