Easter Sunday Holy Communion

Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue
Christ Church, Henton
Address
Wells Road Henton Somerset, BA5 1PD, United Kingdom

This is a very joyful service for all ages - weather permitting! We'll remember the awesome events of Easter including the resurrection of Jesus! This is very special Holy Communion service with hymns, Bible readings and prayers. And there'll be Easter eggs to find! This year's Easter Sunday service is taking place in the churchyard, as phase 1 of the Revitalising Christ Church Henton project is being completed, so please bring chairs and picnic blankets to sit on. This year's service will be a bit more informal than in previous years, given that it's outside, so if you prefer a formal Easter Sunday Holy Communion service you might prefer to attend the 10:30am services at Coxley or Wookey.
