Easter Sunrise service

for 1 hour
Hadleigh Castle
Hadleigh Castle, At the end of Castle Lane, Hadleigh, SS7 2AP

As the sun rises over Hadleigh Castle, we gather in the early morning to celebrate the greater dawn of Easter: the light of Christ rising in the world.

Hadleigh Christians meet together for a brief, ecumenical Sunrise Service at Hadleigh Castle at 6:10am on Sunday 5th April, with churches from across Hadleigh, and music led by the Salvation Army. In the gentle light of morning, we will renew our baptism vows together, reminding ourselves that Christ’s light is not only around us, but also within us — kindled in our hearts, and sent out to be shared.

All are warmly welcome.

Hadleigh: St James the Less

St James the Less is a stunningly beautiful grade one listed building and offers a comfortable, warm and well-lit environment for Christian worship. The Saxon and Norman architecture is complemented by a range of contemporary features which include baby-changing facilities, easy access for those with disabilities, a hearing loop system, a modern meeting room and a new carpeted worship area.
