Easter resources available from THE TRIANGLE
include:
Jesus - The Last Week by Mike Anderson and Paul Heesome. A picture is
built of Jesus' last week by adding a poster to the wall each day. The
assemblies look at how Jesus acted or was treated by others, with a daily prayer
and 'thought for the day'. Whichever way the materials are used, the
participants will have the opportunity to reflect on and experience more
powerfully the wonderful season of Easter.

for handing around and on a CD-ROM for projection - telling the Easter

suggestions for responding as an individual or a group to the artwork. There is

strategies and background material, written by Lat Blaylock and Victoria
Ikwuemesi.
