Easter Day
After the drama of Holy Week, we will celebrate Christ’s resurrection at Easter with joyful music.
6am: Easter Vigil and First Mass of Easter
– we greet the risen Christ at dawn in the churchyard
9:30am: Sung Eucharist for Easter
– a family celebration service with choral music and congregational singing. The sermon will be a special address for all ages, and children can take part in an Easter egg hunt!
Choir anthem: Blessed be the God and Father – Wesley
At the end of the service, our choir will sing the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah. Extra singers are welcome to join in! (you can borrow a score but if you have your own, please bring it). Then please join us afterwards for a glass of prosecco in the Court House.
Everyone is welcome at St Peter’s this Easter. It doesn’t matter if you don’t usually go to church or if you don’t feel very “religious” – our doors are open for you.
The strife is o’er, the battle done;
Now is the Victor’s triumph won;
O let the song of praise be sung.
Alleluya!
