Our 10:00am Eucharist on Easter Sunday was a glorious celebration of the Ressurection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In full daylight we could appreciate the wonderful floral decorations, including 88 white lilies, and it was lovely to see whole families of three generations joining us for this service. We opened with the Acclamation, 'Jesus Christ is Risen, Alleluia', and responded with,'He is risen indeed Alleluia! The service included the traditional Easter Hymns, and the Choir sang Blessed be the God and Father composed by Samuel Sebastian Wesley for the Choir of Hereford Cathedral, first sung on Easter Sunday 1834, and still a magnificent Easter Anthem.
We left the Church to Joanna playing Carillon de Longpont by Louis Vierne, and collected an Easter egg on the way out.
Happy Easter to all, at a time of such unhappiness in the world, the promise of the Risen Christ sustains us!
