A wonderful service was held on Easter Sunday. It was lovely that so many were able to meet together for Easter Breakfast and this was followed by the Easter Communion Service. It was good that 18 Sunday Explorers shared in the worship. During the service the young people decorated the bare cross with flowers and butterflies they had made - depicting life after death. Camilla led our worship and everyone said it was a beautiful service.

This year we are making prayer a special focus in the life of our church, as part of the URC Vision4Life programme. In our Fellowship Group we are devoting three sessions to the topic of prayer, so that we may encourage one another to pray and find help to overcome some of the things we find difficult about prayer. The next session will be held on Monday 10th May and the topic will be "How do I pray?", where we will be looking at different forms and ways of praying. If you need some encouragement in your prayer life, or if prayer is something you've never really got to grips with then we would encourage you to come along, even if you don;t normally attend fellowship meetings.
