Easter Day - Family Communion Service

Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue
St James The Great
Address
St James The Great, High Wych Road High Wych Sawbridgeworth, CM21 0JB, United Kingdom

Join us as we celebrate the joy and hope of Easter Day with a special Family Communion Service. This all‑age service gathers our whole church community to rejoice in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the heart of our Christian faith.

Our worship will include uplifting Easter hymns, engaging Bible readings, and a short all‑age reflection that helps children and adults alike explore the meaning of new life. Together, we will share in Holy Communion, giving thanks for God’s love and the promise of renewal that Easter brings.

Whether you come as a family, on your own, or are visiting for the first time, you’ll be warmly welcomed. Children are especially encouraged to take part, with activities and moments designed to help them join in the celebration.

Come and share in this joyful morning as we proclaim: Alleluia! Christ is risen!

St Mary's

Welcome to St Mary's, Gilston!

Our original church building was a small aisle-less church, built around 1135, which was entirely rebuilt and enlarged in the second half of the 13th century, with the upper part of the tower seen to have been reconstructed in the late 16th century, when the south brick stair-turret was added. 

As part of the Benefice of High Wych and Gilston with Eastwick, we have a variety of services and events at all three of our buildings, and within our communities, so check out our 'Services' and Events' page to find out what on next at St Mary's.

We're looking to see you there!
