Easter Services last Sunday

Posted on by Stephane

Between Easter Vigil and Sunday morning, the five parishes of the Benefice have enjoyed well attended and joyful celebrations of Easter. Families, visitors, hymns, candles, incense, sprinkling, loud noises and laughter were involved. Christ is risen! He’s risen indeed!

 

Please join our Palm Sunday service in St James’, Nayland.

Services are being held in all five churches this Sunday, with a variety of times and worship to chose from. Next Sunday, 24th March, is Palm Sunday when the benefice worships together in St James’s Church, Nayland. The procession will start from the Vicarage at 9.45am and lead into the church by 10am. Refreshments will be served afterwards. Please take time to offer special prayers to those children suffering from cancer or other serious ailments. Please pray especially for each child, their parents, siblings and grandparents who are fraught with worry. Also for those who care for them in making important decisions regarding their treatment and those who nurse them so wonderfully.
