All Change in March!

Lent Easter Notices From_the_Vicar

Easter Day is 31st March this year, which is a 5th Sunday.  Because it is Easter we not having just one service (which is what normally happens when there is a fifth Sunday) but two!  For the early risers there is a Holy Communion service at Lamplugh at 9a.m., and then at 11 a.m. we are having an All Age Holy Communion service at Kirkland.

This replaces the normal All Age communion on the fourth Sunday, which is Palm Sunday, so the service at Kirkland at 11 a.m. will be Common Worship Holy Communion; the same service as will have happened at Ennerdale at 9 a.m.  But because it is Palm Sunday we won't have a sermon; instead there will be a reading of the Passion narrative from Mark's gospel in its entirety.

The third Sunday in March is as normal, but turning to the second Sunday, there is no Messy Church in the afternoon because it is Mothering Sunday.  Instead we have All Age Worship at Kirkland in the morning (complete with our traditional 'Messy Interlude' in the middle of the service.

If all that seems complicated, just look at the Calendar of services for the appropriate church, and it should be clear what is happening.
