Christ is risen... He is Risen indeed... Alleluia!Our Easter celebrations at Stoke church involved the whole church family, with readings, a poem and prayers said by members of the Sunday Stokers children's group, plus music from our Quartette choir. And following the service there was an Easter egg hunt, and children's craft activities. We thanks God that He has blessed us with such a varied and talented church family. (April 2025)
