We enjoyed an excellent time at our Easter Sunday Family Service, with almost sixty people joining us for the morning and the hall decked out with daffodils.
Hosted by Phil, we began by singing Come and see followed by prayer.
After a short welcome including the dates for the resumption of Sunday Club as well as the next scheduled Family Service, we moved on to our first reading from Luke 23:44-47, which was read by Rebekah.
This was followed by the singing of Oh to see the dawn and our second reading, from Matthew 28:1-6, which was delivered by Brian.
Our third hymn was See what a morning, which was followed by an entertaining Easter themed quiz consisting of general knowledge questions about Easter.
Afterwards, we watched a short animated video of the Easter story, shown below:
Before Paul came up to speak to us, we sung Jesus Christ is alive today and I’m Special.
Paul Cogger came up and spoke briefly about life, highlighting various verses and explaining how important Easter is to Christians and how it is that we can obtain eternal life through the work Jesus did for us in his death on the cross.
Paul also talked about goodie bags which we would be handing out at the end of the Family Service.
These each contained a number of items including invites to forthcoming events, a booklet entitled What’s the point of Easter, an activity story (Josh and Jade at Easter) and colouring for children and a creme egg. Ladies were also given some of the many daffodils decorating the hall.
If you’re interested in obtaining a copy of either of these two publications, please either click on the images to order online, or alternatively contact us and we would be happy to send you one.
The Family Service ended with the singing of Led like a lamb and prayer.
It was followed by a selection of refreshments which included hot cross buns.
Our next Family Service is due to take place on April 21st at 11.45am. We hope you’ll be able to join us.
