Easter Day

Sunday 12th April 2020

Unable to leave self-isolation to go to our church buildings, a congregation of about sixty people tuned in online for a service streamed from the Rectory study, with the music provided by the organist from his house and a Bible reading from a third home. 

     After the Lenten austerity of no flowers in church (even when the church was open), we brought in daffodils to mark the joy of Easter.  We lit the new Paschal Candles (one for each of our closed churches) to remind us of the Christian hope  --  as we live in the light of the Resurrection, confident that Christ's rising shows that love is stronger than death   --  and giving thanks for God's love demonstrated by the selfless acts of kindness and dedication shown by so many people during this pandemic.
