Easter Fire and Eucharist
Alleluia Christ is risen! a service of the first light of Easter
We believe in a bright and amazing God,
who decorates the universe
with sparkling water, bright light,
twinkling stars and brilliant colours,
again and again and again;
who has been to the depths of despair
on our behalf;
who has risen in splendour and majesty.
We believe that Jesus is the light of the world;
that God believes in us, and trusts us,
even though we make the same mistakes
over and over again.
We commit ourselves to Jesus,
to one another as brothers and sisters,
and to the Maker’s business in the world.
God said: Let there be light. May we be the light of the world. Amen!

Maundy Thursday 2020 – Symbols of the Last Supper
In our Maundy Thursday service we were unable to sit around a table together so Heston shared with us remotely the symbols of the Last Supper and some of the deeper meanings that so easily passes us by.

Easter Sunday 2019
Easter Sunday morning started early for some with a sunrise service at St Michael’s Church in Headingley.
Beautiful St Michael’s
Not sure why Heston has a bottle of Bucks Fizz!
At our main Easter Service Heston took us on a quick run through of the whole Bible (again!) from Genesis to Revelation stopping at every point that a river or a sea separated God’s people from where God intended them to be and, as you can see from the photos, we had a visual representation with a ground sheet liberally sprinkled with water!
The people of Israel cross the River Jordan
“It was so wide!”
So many times God has led His people from a place of separation to a place of relationship with Himself, so many times the people have had to cross the waters that divide. But the Easter story tells of that division being crossed once and for all by Jesus, no more slavery in foreign lands, no more wandering in the wilderness. And the vision or Revelations where there is no more sea to divide (Rev.21).
Thank you Heston for a memorable (and slightly wet) Easter service and Casper for singing such a beautiful song.
A Prayer for Good Friday
Irony of all ironies,
you call us worth it—
the lifetime of listening
and healing
and teaching the world
that everything is different than we thought it was.
There was something about you there on that cross, that Good Friday.
Jesus, may we spend the rest of our days trying to find out what exactly it was.
Amen.
