The Easter Vigil

for 1 hour, 30 mins
St Peter
Druridge Drive Cowgate, NE5 3LP, United Kingdom

We gather to hear the stories of salvation throughout scripture. Then we move to the porch to kindle the first fire of Easter, light and bless the Paschal Candle, hear the ancient hymn of the Exsultet, and process the light of Christ into church, where we will celebrate the first Eucharist of Easter. The service is followed by fizz and chocolates. This is a joint service with St Wilfrid's, Newbiggin Hall.
