First Eucharist of Easter with The Service of Light and Vigil

for 2 hours
St Peter's
Church Street Woolley Wakefield WF4 2JU, WF4 2JU, United Kingdom

All are welcome to come to this very special and ancient service.

We begin with a fire outside of church, the Easter candle is lit from the fire and then carried into a dark church. Members of the congregation follow the light representing The Light of Christ into church.

During the service congregations will light their own candles and when we start the vigil, they are encouraged to make as much noise as possible - celebrating the Risen Christ!

It is a very moving and visual service - dark and the light. If you haven't been to it before, come an experience something that is different to any other service in the worldwide Church.

St Peter's

Why not join us on our journey as we begin to understand God's purpose for us and develop our faith, our understanding of the bible and discover God’s love for us all.

All are welcome as we journey together.</span>
