Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue
Godalming Minster - Church Street
Address
Borough Road Godalming Guildford, GU7 1ET, United Kingdom

A beautiful candlelit choral service to mark the start of Easter, with the blessing of the new fire, the lighting of the Easter Candle and the renewal of baptismal vows. All are most warmly welcome to come and celebrate the risen Christ in this glorious building in the heart of Godalming.
The blessing of the new fire, the lighting of the Easter Candle
and the renewal of Baptismal vows

The Church is in darkness as was Calvary when Christ died on the cross. As God in the Old Testament made His presence known by the sign of a pillar of fire, so fire now represents the return of Christ, the light of the world, from the darkness of the grave.
(Parking available at Mint Street or Crown Court carparks Free on Saturday evening),
