Sunday 12 April 2026
This Sunday, which counts as the second Sunday in the fifty season of Eastertide. This is the most joyful period of the Church year, coinciding with blossoming of Spring and the transition to early Summer. The themes of this season are centre upon the impact of Jesus’ resurrection from death on our relationships with ourselves, each other, God and all creation.

This Sunday we have a single in-person service where we welcome Revd Sister Teresa Mary from the Community of the Sisters of the Church who are based in the St Paul’s district of Bristol, in Clevedon, and elsewhere across the country. Our churches support the Sisters who work alongside and befriend those who are living at the margins of society.
