This year, at St Hilda’s, we are offering a meaningful and eco-friendly way to share Easter greetings with fellow congregation members — by saving trees and sending just one Easter card or message, to be displayed for all to enjoy.

Elizabeth has generously prepared a beautiful Easter noticeboard at the back of the church, where we can pin our shared cards or messages. This will be available for everyone to view from Easter Day onwards (but not before, please!), and will remain up throughout the full seven weeks of Eastertide.

Not only does it reduce paper use and waste — a small but significant step towards caring for God’s creation — it also allows us to focus on the spirit of togetherness, celebrating the resurrection with unity and love.

Naturally, you may still wish to send personal Easter cards, especially to those who live alone, are housebound, or who live further afield and cannot join us in person. If so, please consider buying your cards from charities you’d like to support — another way to do good this Easter.
