Jesus died on Good Friday. On Saturday his body lay in a tomb. We do not know the exact time that he rose from the dead, but on Easter Eve we will gather in a darkened church at 8.30 pm to hear readings from the Old Testament about God’s covenant with the people of Israel and how they were liberated from slavery in Egypt. We then begin to celebrate our own liberation from sin and death by Jesus’s death and resurrection. We end our worship by renewing the promises we made when we were baptised, in preparation for Easter Communion tomorrow.

Come and join us for our Eucharist to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Please note that today’s service is at 10 rather than 9.30, and there is no separate 11 am service. (Please also note that the clocks go forward the previous night – don’t forget or you’ll miss it!)
