From earliest times Christians have gathered through the night of Easter to recall the story of God’s saving work, from creation through to the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. This service is meant to be a real experience of new life, a passing from darkness to light which offers hope to all the faithful.

The Easter Vigil marks the end of the emptiness of Holy Saturday, and leads into the celebration of Christ’s resurrection. The singing of the Exsultet, the ancient hymn of triumph and rejoicing, links the night of our Christian redemption to the Passover night of Israel’s redemption out of Egypt. Christian baptism is a participation in the death and resurrection of Christ. The Easter Vigil is a fitting time for all those who are already Christians to repeat with renewed commitment the promises of their own baptism. The Easter Gospel is proclaimed with all the joy and splendour that the church can find.

The Easter Eucharist follows immediately on from the Vigil. All the resources of the church – music, flowers, bells, colours – are used to celebrate Christ’s resurrection. The ‘Alleluia’, which has been silent throughout Lent, returns!

If you are unable to attend one of our Easter Sunday church services in person, you are warmly invited to join in with our Rector, The Revd Mark Woodrow, and our Curate, The Revd Dr Karen Smith, from your own home, as they celebrates Christ's Glorious Resurrection with Holy Communion from the Vicarage.

The readings for today are Isaiah 65:17-end, Acts 10:34-43, and Luke 24:1-12.

The hymns for today are, Jesus Christ is risen today, and Thine be the glory.

Our children are precious to all who love and care for them and are precious to God as well.

We all want the very best for them, and so too does God.

So a Baptism, which we celebrate today, is just the beginning of a wonderful lifelong journey of faith ... and so much more.
