Jesus is risen, and we too come out of the darkness of mourning to celebrate! Some of us will already have met for Dawn Praise, and will be in need of sustenance and warmth. Others will be looking forward to a family day. But we're all invited to gather for refreshments BEFORE the 11.00am service, instead of afterwards. There will be sausage buns, and hot cross buns (and maybe a few surprises too). Our social times are always lively - this could be REALLY lively.

Then at 11.00am we'll begin the service, lighting our new Easter candles outside church, before processing in. This year, we're baptising three new members of one of our key church families as part of the service, following a great Easter tradition, so that will make the service different and extra special too. Of course there will be communion, but will there be time for a sermon? You'll have to come to find out.

As Easter falls on the fifth Sunday of the month, this is a joint service for the whole parish - there will be no services at the other churches on Easter Day.
