All are welcome to join us as we convene at our 11am Easter Sunday Service to celebrate the great miracle of Easter in readings, music and hymns and in joyful communion.
However deep the darkness and despair of Good Friday, in the end God’s love was far greater. There is new life. There is new hope, for Christ is risen from the dead.
Refreshments will be served after the service and there will be an Egg Hunt in the Rectory Garden and other Easter activities for the under 10s.
Music
During the service St Bride’s Choir and Organist will perform some suitably jubilant music to celebrate this great feast day:
Setting: Missa brevis – Zoltán Kodály
Canticle: Easter Hymn from Cavalleria rusticana – Pietro Mascagni
Sermon: The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride’s
Anthems: Haec dies – John Sheppard
Organ Voluntary: Paraphrase on Judas Maccabaeus – Alexandre Guilmant
SUPPORT ST BRIDE'S
There will be a collection during the service to support the work, ministry and music-making of St Bride's and help maintain our magnificent Wren church.
St Bride's is wholly reliant on and deeply grateful for the generous support of our visitors and congregation.
