Easter 2007

At the Sunday school before Holy week we were very busy.  We talked about the events that took place in the lead up to Easter.  We made paper crosses, looked at the Easter garden and made pictures to decorate the church.  Then we went into the churchyard to see if the bulbs that the Sunday school children planted a few years ago had grown.  They had and they looked beautiful amongst the primroses.
It was fortunate that we did; because we also found some Easter eggs! 

Palm Sunday - Everyone received a palm cross to remind them of the decisive step Jesus took when riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, knowing that he would be crucified there.  The children joined in the procession carrying palm leaves.

Good Friday - We remembered the Crucifixion of Jesus.  We went to the Easter Garden where some of the children put three crosses in place as we sang a hymn and heard the account of the crucifixion.  The children received a cream egg at the end of the service; I think it was a bit early but I didn't hear any of them complain!

Easter Day - This is when we celebrate the resurrection.  The cross was back on the altar, flowers everywhere, an Easter garden and Easter pictures by the children.  Cream eggs were given to everyone during the service that wanted one; these remind us of new life and new beginnings.  Hollow eggs remind us of the empty tomb after Jesus had risen.

The Easter service was followed by refreshments in the hall.
