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 Botolph's

Welcome to St Botolph’s, Eastwick!

Set within a peaceful and picturesque village, St Botolph’s carries a rich story of change and renewal. Once a magnificent medieval church—described in early records as a large and impressive building with a tower, transepts, and fine tiled flooring at the east end—it stood proudly for centuries before being replaced in the 19th century. The church you see today was built between 1872 and 1875, continuing a long tradition of worship on this historic site.

Now part of the Benefice of High Wych and Gilston with Eastwick, St Botolph’s is a welcoming and active place at the heart of its community. Across our three churches, you’ll find a variety of services, events, and opportunities to come together in faith and friendship.

We’d love to see you here—visit our Services and Events pages to discover what’s coming up at St Botolph’s and across the benefice. A warm welcome awaits!
