Norwich Churches Invited to Support Easter Display at Aviva Offices
A wonderful opportunity has emerged for Norwich churches to participate in a meaningful Easter celebration at the Aviva offices located on Surrey Street in the heart of the city. Joy Roxburgh, who is coordinating this special initiative, is reaching out to the local Christian community to help create a thoughtful Easter display that will both inform and invite colleagues to explore the significance of this important Christian festival.
The vision for this Easter display extends beyond mere decoration, aiming to provide a space where Aviva employees can engage with the deeper meaning of Easter. Volunteers will be available to have conversations with interested colleagues who might have questions about the Christian faith or the Easter story. This personal touch creates an opportunity for genuine connection and dialogue in a workplace setting, where discussions about faith might not typically occur.
Joy is specifically looking for resources that can help explain Easter’s significance to those who may be unfamiliar with the Christian narrative. Items such as explanatory leaflets like “Why Easter?”, copies of the Gospels, and other Easter-focused materials would be particularly welcomed. These resources will be made freely available for anyone who wishes to take them, creating a non-pressured way for individuals to explore Christianity at their own pace and in their own time.
Additionally, this initiative creates a wonderful bridge between the workplace and local churches. Joy is inviting Norwich churches to provide information about their Easter services and events, which will be displayed alongside the other resources. This creates a practical next step for Aviva colleagues who might feel inspired to attend a church service or Easter celebration, perhaps for the first time or after a long absence, connecting them with the wider Christian community in Norwich.
The collaborative nature of this project highlights the potential for positive faith expression in corporate environments when approached with sensitivity and openness. By inviting multiple churches to participate, the display will represent the breadth and diversity of Christian expression in Norwich, rather than promoting any single denomination or congregation. This inclusive approach helps create a welcoming atmosphere for people of all backgrounds and levels of familiarity with Christianity.
Churches interested in contributing materials to this Easter display are encouraged to contact Joy Roxburgh directly at [email protected]. This presents a unique opportunity for local congregations to extend their Easter outreach beyond church walls into one of Norwich’s significant workplaces. Through this simple but meaningful initiative, the timeless message of Easter can be shared with hundreds of people who might not otherwise encounter it, creating moments for reflection, questions, and potentially life-changing discoveries during the Easter season.
