Easter has been and gone, and can I say how uplifting it was to me to have so many people attend our service on
Easter morning. The volume in the church when singing was amazing and hopefully those that came enjoyed the
fun we had.
Many people are asking “What of the future?” I feel that to enable us to keep going, we need to consider doing
some things differently. One of the things we are going to do during May is to hold an early morning (7:30am)
service for Ascension Day on May 14
th
. The day when we remember Jesus returning to be with his Father. We
will be holding this service, in the Peace Garden in St. Lawrence, a lovely and wonderful outdoor space. I am
currently discussing with the organisers of the Chale Show about again leading the service at that event. It has
also been suggested that we might want to consider several other outdoor services in the community. We will be
holding the annual All Souls service on Sunday 1
st
November, where we invite all those families and friends to
join with us as we remember the ones we have lost.
We are looking to do things differently as we go forward. Some outdoor services, some different styles of
worship, some different music. As we look forward to Bishop Jonathon joining us in June, some of the things we
will be doing at that service might be a little different, but all still worshipping God together.
I do recognise that for some, change, might seem painful, but with the changes in personnel, we need to look at
doing things differently. I do hope that you will support all that we are trying to do, as we seek to grow.
However, do not let any changes put you off, do come along and experience them, and do feel free to feed back
to myself your thoughts on any changes after you have experienced them.
