We wish you a very happy Easter! May you be blessed by the Risen Christ!
There were three joyful services at church today. At 7.50am the Vicar sang the Exsultet, an ancient Easter hymn during a short Service of Light. This was followed by Holy Communion (Book of Common Prayer). Then at 10.30am there was the main Easter Communion Service with hymns, puppets, bonnets, streamers and children leading the prayers.
Here are some of today’s Easter greetings…
The Risen Christ coming to his disciples & breathing on them his Spirit, he released them from pain & they began to live transformed lives – Archbishop of York John Sentamu
Hope has beaten despair. Light has beaten darkness. Life has beaten death forever. All because Christ is Risen! – Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby
Today is the celebration of our hope, the celebration of this truth: nothing and no one will ever be able to separate us from God’s love – Pope Francis
