*********************************
From the Vicar: As we approach the climax of our journey through Passiontide to the glorious celebrations of Easter Day, we have much to give thanks for here at St Nicholas. I am personally grateful to everyone who has given so generously of their time and gifts, to ensure that our packed program of services and events have been delivered and to an extraordinarily high standard. We have seen countless new people and families joining us for the first time and this is exactly what we’re here for, as we seek to be witnesses, inspire children and young people and transform our community.
Having now contracted Covid, I am indebted to Phil, Rev’d Carol Wilkinson, Rev’d Tom Maidment and Rev’d Jane Atkinson who have so very kindly agreed to cover the Easter Day services in my place.
Lord God, You loved this world so much, that you gave your one and only Son, that we might be
called your children too. Lord, help us to live in the gladness and grace of Easter Sunday, every day.
Let us have hearts of thankfulness for your sacrifice. Let us have eyes that look upon your grace
and rejoice in our salvation. Help us to walk in that mighty grace and tell your
good news to the world. All for your glory do we pray, Lord, Amen.
Dear friends, hold on to the hope that no matter what lies ahead, Christ has conquered the grave. And by conquering the grave He has given us new life for now and eternity to come. Let your hearts be glad, shout with joy and celebrate this great day. Easter is here, and so is new life and hope.
With love and Easter blessings to you and yours as we journey on together.
Please also remember in your prayers: Rev Jane Everitt, Rev Martin Keighley, Elizabeth King, Chris Kelsall, Michaela Jones, Mark Price, Lee Schofield, Grantham Fidler, Tony Hardman & Peter Hollier. And the families of Susan Smith, Reg Short, Marjorie Kenwright and Sarah Entwistle whose funeral are due to take place.
