This weekend we remember and celebrate the events of the first Easter.

On Good Friday (14th) we meet at 8pm for a service of reflection, which will include remembering Jesus' death as we share together in bread and wine (Communion / Lord's Supper). This is always a very meaningful opportunity to gather on what is a very poignant day in the Christian calendar. 

Then on Sunday 16th (Easter Day) we gather at 11am to celebrate the empty tomb and resurrection. Our service will include children's provision and a supervised creche.
