Easter Sunday intercession 5 April 2015
This Powerpoint was created to have an “eyes open prayer,” where the congregation were invited to keep their eyes open and use the photos as a means to think about various themes. Below is the text of the prayer.

the road, the way, which leads to you
the risen sun.
Amen
