Easter is the greatest celebration in the Church year, as we celebrate the turning point in history. It is a journey through darkness to light, from the pain and betrayal of the Passion of Jesus to the joy of Easter Morning. Here are some highlights
Palm Sunday – 10.30am Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey as the crowds sing ‘Hosanna to the king of kings’
Maundy Thursday – 7pm Named after the Latin Mandatum – from Jesus ‘A new commandment I give to you, love one another as I have loved you’ and a commemoration of the last supper
Good Friday – 7pm the most solemn day of the year, we mark it with a ‘Service of Shadows’ – a service of readings and reflection as the sun sets and the world enters into darkness.
Easter Sunday – 7.30am Dawn Service at the lakeside, La Tour-de-Peilz harbour (Google maps)
10.30am Easter Celebration with Holy Communion Life and love triumph over sin and death. New life starts now. The greatest moment in history.
