Easter Eve Vigil Service

for 1 hour
St Nicholas Hedworth Lane, Boldon Colliery
Hedworth Lane Boldon Colliery, NE35 9JA, United Kingdom
Come and join us as we wait in the darkness for the light of Jesus' resurrection.

On this most Holy Night we gather around a bonfire outside of St Nicholas Hedworth Lane, and light our new Easter candle. We move into church sharing the light of Christ between us, and begin in candlelight as we hear the story of Christ's coming from the Bible.

In the middle of the service the lights come up, and the cry goes out, "Jesus is risen! Alleluia!" and we celebrate the joy of the resurrection, as death is defeated for all time. Come and worship with us as we share our Easter joy!

St Nicholas Hedworth Lane, Boldon Colliery

Welcome to St Nicholas, Hedworth Lane. We're an open and inclusive community, worshiping from the beautiful church building in the midst of Boldon Colliery. We want to share the love of Jesus that we know in our lives with those in our community. 

St Nic's is also home to Messy Church in the Boldons, our family orientated church which meets monthly and is full of songs and stories, craft and fun, and food and prayer. Little Angels our stay and play toddler group meets every Thursday morning in term time. 

If we can help in any way please don't hesitate to make contact, either in person at any time that the building is open, or by telephone or email.
