Easter Displays and Flowers
The Church was beautifully decorated for the Easter Services.
Rector Paul spoke to the children about a range of Easter time symbols such as eggs, rabbits, bonnets etc explaining that the thing that really matters is not an external symbol but Jesus’ spirit within us.
He did seem to enjoy demonstrating an Easter Bonnet.

Good Friday – Messy Church
The story of the hot cross bun
Children and adults decorated eggs, made biscuits and made a huge hot cross bun.
Curate Jackie then explained the meaning of the cross on the bun. She used the decorated lower half of the bun to remind us of the story of the first Good Friday and how the sadness of the tomb turned to joy on Easter day.

Sermon Player – 18th March 2012
Rector Paul Norrington spoke on this mothers day of how mums treat us with compassion, love, patience, humility and gentleness. He went on to say how God treats us with these same attributes through Jesus His Son.
After the talk, adults and children assembled flowers and these were displayed on a tree.

The BIG Christingle
Christingle 2011
All age event
This year we worked together to make a BIG Christingle
The world and the red ribbon
Loved by children and adults alike, this candlelit celebration was an ideal way to share together the key messages of the Christian faith.
The celebration
Our Christingle celebrations included table based craft activities making individual Christingles and the making together of a HUGE Christingle. The main element that is universal to all Christingle celebrations was the lighting of the individual Christingle candles.
Symbolism
The orange – represents the world
The red ribbon – indicates the love and blood of Christ
