Happy Easter everyone in Bollington. If you haven't been to church for a while this is the weekend to come!! You coming along just a few times a year really shows your support for your church in Bollington. Grandparents - ask your grandchildren to come with you. Come and see. There is joy, peace, hope and promise in
Bollington Parish Church, St Oswald's celebrations of Easter. Everyone is welcome to come along:
Maundy Thursday 7.30pm Holy Communion followed by Silent Vigil hour and compline.
Good Friday: 10.30am Messy Easter with activities and retelling the greatest story ending at noon with fish finger butties.
Good Friday service at 2pm: A profoundly moving service as we hear the long passion Gospel, listen to the music of Stainer's crucifixion from the Capriccio Vocal Ensemble, distribution of communion for anyone who wishes to receive (will end about 3.30pm).
Early Easter morning: 7am On top of White Nancy lighting the Easter Fire (service lasts 15-20mins). Dogs welcome!
Easter Day Holy Communion at 10.30am in St Oswald's with organ, choir and hymns followed by an Easter Egg hunt for children.
Consider coming to all of it, to immerse yourself in the depth of the drama of the greatest story ever told, the last supper, the arrest, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ following through Maundy Thursday, Good Friday to Easter Day, and it will feed your soul.
