These are Lent & Easter events this year.
Join us as we celebrate Easter.
Join us for our special Children's Easter Celebration in Hundon Church.
There will be activities, crafts, the Easter Story, singing, Easter Egg Hunt, and refreshments.
Open for pre-school and primary school age children.
Children please bring a grown up!
There is no charge for this event.
Join us for our special Maundy Thursday service where we are reminded of the importance of humble Christian service expressed through Christ’s washing of his disciple’s feet, the institution of the Eucharist, and the perfection of Christ’s obedience through the agony of Gethsemane.
Join us for our special Good Friday’s service where our focus turns to the Cross. There is no celebration of the Eucharist, and churches are traditionally stripped of all decoration.
There can be no adequate way of recalling the death of the Son of God, other than silence and desolation.
Join Revd Mark in Poslingford Church, as he leads a short and reflective service of Compline (Night Prayer) to mark the end of Good Friday.
(Do wrap up warm!)
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!
