Dawn Service

for 1 hour
St Mary's, Stoke D'Abernon
Stoke Road Stoke D'Abernon Cobham, KT11 3PX, United Kingdom

There is biblical symbolism in the Easter worship of the early risers. In the New Testament's four Gospels, the resurrection story varies, but all tell of the four women followers of Jesus who discovered Christ's empty tomb at dawn,

Our service starts outside around a fire as we wait for dawn to rise. When the sun has risen we move into the Church.

The service is followed by a warm cup of tea and coffee and hot cross buns.

St Mary's, Stoke D'Abernon

Our Church, which is the oldest Church in Surrey, was built in the late 7th or early 8th century and has welcomed worshippers throughout the following centuries to the present day. We are still a vibrant and active church serving the daily needs of our Parishioners and the wider community.

Our regular service times are set out on our website www.stmarysstokedabernon.org.uk. The Church is open for visiting between 2-4pm on Saturdays and Sundays from the beginning of April until the end of October except for Easter Saturday and Sunday when the Church will not be open other than for planned Church services

Thank you for taking an interest in our lovely church and visiting our website. We’d love to see you at our services, where you will receive a warm welcome, a faithful service, and refreshments in our church hall after.
