It was wonderful that so many people were able to join us for our Easter services.On Sunday morning's eucharist, we had over 300 people, which is a record for a Sunday morning at our church. Apologies if you were one of those standing at the back: we hadn't quite scaled up, and we'll have to work out better next time how to fit everyone in more comfortably.
Holy Week really takes it out of you, as much emotionally and spiritually as anything else: the joy is meaningless unless there's the Cross too.
With that in mind, I'm on annual leave for the next fortnight, so no posts here for a while, but there's still plenty happening.
We've our parish Annual General meeting next Sunday (19th) and there are weddings both on Sat 18th and Sat 25th April.
Meanwhile, we'll be making more preparations for the Chapel on the Hill now that we've a bit more time to focus more generally.
In the meantime, happy Easter to everyone.
Father Robert

PPS Check out the amazing DVD of "The Land of Green Ginger" produced by Tapp enterprises. The quality of production is simply amazing, and does rather better than do us justice. It makes us better than we actually were! Available for a fiver after Church.
