The First Eucharist of Easter with Vigil and Renewal of Baptismal Vows

for 1 hour, 45 mins
St James
St James, Church Lane Chapelthorpe Wakefield, WF4 3JG, United Kingdom
If you have never been to this service before you are more than welcome.

This service goes all the way back to the early church and is visually and spiritually very moving. It's a service that starts with having a fire outside and coming into the church which is in complete darkness, with simple candle light. Unusually everyone is also asked to bring something with them that will make a noise. That includes the kitchen pan and wooden spoon, if you cannot think of anything simply just clapping and stomping your feet would be great!

Children are more than welcome to come along and lead the shy adults when prompted in making as much noise as possible!

We look forward to seeing you.
