Holy Saturday (20th April)
One of the
hidden gems of Christian worship is the Vigil Service held on the Saturday evening before Easter Day. Beginning with the lighting
of the Easter fire, the new Paschal Candle (ours stand three feet tall!) is carried into a darkened church and the first part
of the service is conducted in candlelight as a number of readings from the Old Testament – interspersed with silence
– give us pause to reflect upon God’s love revealed throughout history and our need of his decisive act in sending
his Son to redeem us. Then, with a flourish of noise and light, we proclaim that Christ is risen, and celebrate the breaking
forth of new light into the world. It is a powerful and moving service – why not try and attend this act of worship
this year? We start outside the Church doors at 8.30pm.
Pre-Easter Confessions
If anyone would like to make
a sacramental confession before Easter, please speak with Fr Shaun to arrange a time. If you’ve never made a confession
before and would like to talk about what it would entail, please ask!
