Before the world wakes…
Before the island stirs…

We gather in the early morning light.

The Easter Dawn Fire Service begins in darkness — just as that first Easter began in uncertainty and grief. But as the fire is lit and the sun begins to rise, we remember what changed everything:

Light has overcome darkness.
Life has overcome death.

This is not just something that happened long ago — it is something we step into, here and now.

There is something powerful about marking this moment together, outdoors, as a new day breaks over Alderney.

A simple fire.
Ancient words.
A shared hope.

Join us at 6am as we welcome the dawn of Easter Day — whether you come every year or are simply curious, you will be very welcome.

Breakfast with hot drinks will be served after the service!

Easter is a story meant to be told with joy — and sometimes the best way to tell it… is with puppets!

Puppets & Praise is a lively, relaxed, and family-friendly celebration of the Easter story — full of fun, laughter, music, and a reminder of the best news of all:

Jesus is alive!

Through storytelling, songs, and a bit of silliness along the way, we explore what Easter means in a way that everyone can enjoy — especially children (and the young at heart!).

This isn’t about sitting still and staying quiet — it’s about joining in, feeling welcome, and discovering the joy of Easter together.

Come along at 9am at St Anne’s — bring the family, bring a smile, and be part of the celebration.

Easter Day: Life, Light, and New Beginnings

Easter Day is a celebration like no other.

After the silence of the tomb…
After the sorrow of Good Friday…

Life breaks through.

The stone is rolled away.
The tomb is empty.
And everything changes.

“He is not here; he is risen!”

Easter is not just about what happened then.
It’s about what is possible now.

It is the promise that:
• life is stronger than death
• hope is stronger than despair
• love is stronger than anything

This is a day of joy, of renewal, of fresh starts.

Whatever has been heavy…
Whatever has felt lost…

Easter speaks a new word.

Join us at St Anne’s for our main Easter Day Eucharist as we celebrate together — with joy, with community, and with hope at the heart of it all.

Whether you come every week or haven’t been in years, you will be warmly welcomed.
