Celebrating Easter at St Paul’s

After a meaningful and thought-provoking journey through Lent led by our Vicar, who offered us a varied programme of ways to observe this time, Holy Week brought us to Good Friday.  The morning was spent with a workshop for young people, with the telling of the Easter story along with songs, crafts and hot cross buns.  In the afternoon, from noon to 3 pm David led devotions. with reflections on the Passion according to Matthew.

Easter Day began with the ecumenical ‘Son’-rise service led by the Revd David Edmondson (followed by hot-cross buns in St Paul’s).  The church was filled for the main morning service of celebration, when baptismal vows were reaffirmed and the joyful hymns of Easter sung.

There was an extra cause of celebration for a special birthday!
