1st Kempston Boys Brigade

05/04/2026

On behalf of everyone at The Boys’ Brigade, 1st Kempston Company, we want to wish all our young people and families a very happy and joyful Easter Sunday!

Today is a really special day because we celebrate that Jesus is alive! After everything that happened on Good Friday, Easter Sunday reminds us that God’s love is stronger than anything — even death — and that there is always hope, new beginnings, and something to look forward to.

Just like spring brings new life, Easter shows us that we can always start fresh, be kind to others, and keep going even when things feel tough.

We hope you have a brilliant day celebrating with your families, I imagine enjoying some chocolate, and remembering the true meaning of Easter.

He is risen! Alleluia!

Wishing you all a fun, happy, and blessed Easter!

Every blessing,
Alistair
Company Captain

On behalf of everyone at the The Boys’ Brigade, 1st Kempston Company, we wish all our young people and families a meaningful and reflective Good Friday.

Today, we remember the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ — a powerful reminder of God’s love, grace, and forgiveness for us all. It is a time to pause, reflect, and give thanks for the hope that this day represents.

As we look ahead to Easter, may this Good Friday bring peace to your hearts and encouragement to your faith.

Wishing you all a blessed day.

Every blessing,
Alistair
