“Churches do a lot of community outreach at Christmas, but Easter is at the centre of our faith. I'm really passionate about children knowing the truth of the Easter story." More than 1,000 schoolchildren from Staffordshire have seen the resurrection story thanks to a Christian schools’ worker and the local churches who have been sponsoring a free cinema project. The churches in Uttoxeter sponsored seats for screenings of The King of Kings, an animated film starring Kenneth Branagh. The 2025 film shows the life of Jesus from nativity to crucifixion and explores the question of ‘Why did Jesus have to die?’ as if it were a bedtime story that shares the message of Jesus in a way children connect with. Jordan Lambert is the schools’ worker who, through Churches Together, organised the event. “Churches do a lot of community outreach at Christmas but Easter is at the centre of our faith.
