Our videos appear on Facebook first, but Facebook doesn’t make it easy for you to keep track of what is going up where and when. If you missed any of our videos over Easter, please find them below.
Easter Sunday ‘At Home’ Service
Easter Sunday Sunrise Service
Good Friday Family Service – featuring the Easter Trail
Holy Week Dramatized Readings
Over Holy week, we released a video a day taking us through the Passion story. Below is a compilation of these videos.
Please join us in St Catherine’s Church on Good Friday (April 2nd) for Reflections on the Cross at 3.00 p.m, using a series of beautiful pictures to help us in our meditations.
All welcome, please wear facemask, Covid guidelines and social distancing in place.
GIVE ALL YOUR WORRIES TO HIM, BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU (1 Peter 5:7).
An opportunity for quiet reflection and prayer. Bring a stone, or many stones, and lay them at the foot of the Cross. The cross will be in a quiet place in the church grounds, behind the corner garden. You are invited to sit before the cross on the bench for as long as you like (wrap up warm!) and use the opportunity to pray and give your concerns to God.
Do it once, or come daily. Everyone is welcome. Please respect social distancing.
Want to do something different for your lockdown walk? Why not follow our Easter Trail.
There are ten illustrated egg displays between St Michaels & St Catherine’s, each telling part of the Easter Story, along with a simple family friendly activity or question.
When you arrive at St Catherine’s, you can enjoy our Easter Garden, full of home-made flowers from local schools and families.
CELEBRATION SERVICE WITH COMMUNION IN ST CATHERINE’S CHURCH, 10.00 am
We are delighted to reopen the church for our first Sunday service this year.
We’ll be following strict Covid secure guidelines, so it will be a spoken service with Face-masks and social distancing required.
As part of the celebration, we are inviting you to gift and bring an indoor plant (rather than a palm branch!) to leave on the windowsills of the church permanently – to celebrate both Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, and our entry into the church building once more! (Please don’t feel you have to do this, though, it is just an idea!) This will also mark our commitment to being eco-friendly; plant lifeforms growing within the church!
EASTER TRAIL from St Michael’s Church to St Catherine’s (more details here), all the family can discover the Easter story as they hunt for (pictures of) Easter eggs.
VISIT OUR EASTER GARDEN. Pre-school and school children are making crafted flowers to add to the garden – and you are invited to do the same!
CAST YOUR BURDENS ON TO HIM, FOR HE CARES FOR YOU (1 Peter 5:7). An opportunity for quiet reflection and prayer. Bring a stone, or many stones, and lay them at the foot of the Cross.
