Easter
We had a slightly unusual Easter this year. A friend of Anne’s was having her daughter baptised, and Anne was being godmother. So, it was early to rise for us, so as to be out the door by 8:30am (nearly happened…) and driving to Christchurch Southgate for the 10am service. Made it in time (nearly 10 minutes to spare 
). The church building is lovely and grand, complete with Last Supper on the reredos (the screen behind the communion table). Sadly, they’re doing some fairly heavy restoration at the moment and there was scaffolding everywhere inside the church.
The service itself was excellent – fairly high sung eucharist, complete with bells but no smells! The combination of celebrating Christ’s resurrection and celebrating the addition new members to the church family works really well, I think. Lots of ways of thinking of new life, new beginnings and new hope.
Happy Easter!
pax et bonum
