Thanks go to all who were involved in our Easter services and activities at Crosscrake.The family activity morning on Good Friday was well attended and enjoyed, followed in the afternoon by a reflective service.Our thanks go to the flower team, who made the church look beautiful for Easter Day. It was just at the height of the daffodil season and the team made the very best of it.We enjoyed a large congregation of 75 adults and 25 children on Easter Sunday at 10am, which followed a sunrise service with breakfast.
A large gathering enjoyed the all-age crib service this afternoon at Crosscrake. The adults enjoyed watching many more than three kings, as well as a large group of angels and shepherds and a personal appearance by wicked King Herod!A merry Christmas to all from everyone at Crosscrake Church.
On Sunday night (17th Dec), a large congregation and choir enjoyed a traditional carol service of eight readings, carols and anthems. The carol service began with Once in Royal David’s City, sung by candlelight, before the lights were turned on to enable everyone to join in with a hearty sing of traditional Christmas carols.The service was followed by a retiring collection for Manna House in Kendal and the congregation enjoyed mulled wine, mince pies and a good chat. Thanks to everyone who made it such a special event to begin our Christmas celebration. For a full list of services and events taking place over the festive period, have a look at our Calendar page.
