Easter at St Catherine's

Our Easter programme is now available! Click here for the poster. (Or here if that link doesn't seem to work.)

We begin on Maundy Thursday, April 21st, with a Supper & Quiz for all the family at 7pm in the Hall. Following our very successful Harvest Quiz, this will be hosted by Trish & David Tazzini-Lloyd, with Hot-pot style food provided by Lesley Wilson & Anne Swann.

Good Friday will see many of us participate in the town walk of witness which begins at the Museum at midday, finishing with the service in front of Alfred's. Marcus will be leading this. We will then continue to church for our quiet afternoon reflection service, which again Marcus will lead, from 1pm till 3pm.

On Holy Saturday, we have three events. In the morning running concurrently we will have a coffee morning in church and a children's craft event in the hall. These both start at 10am, and will come together at some point when our Puppet Theatre will perform an Easter piece in church for everyone.

In the evening, we will hear St Mark's Gospel read to us in full, starting at 7pm.

On Easter Sunday, our three services will be at their usual times, and we look forwards to celebrating the Lord's resurrection together - 8am for a quiet traditional communion, 11am for our main Easter celebration, and 6pm for an informal end to the day.

Everyone is welcome to all these events (though the Thursday supper will be ticketed - email vicar@st-caths.org if you need details) and we would especially welcome any wider friends or family of the church to come along at Easter time. If you haven't been before, or are thinking about faith perhaps for the first time, or perhaps as something you are returning to, Easter is a great opportunity to come along and remember what really lies at the heart of what we believe, and why. Please join us!
