Easter 2022 is turning out to be a real mix of light and shade. On Maundy Thursday more than a dozen people came together to remember and commemorate the Last Supper. Beginning with hand washing, deemed more suitable in light of Covid, followed by Communion, a short walk to Gethsemane and then back into church for the betrayal this 45 minute service was an excellent start to a weekend of high and low emotions. Huge thanks to Hilary Willmer and her team for writing and preparing it.
Just twelve hours later fifty people gathered to spend two hours sharing hot cross buns, coffee, craft, learning and reflection in a wonderful all age workshop based around the story of the crucifixion. Many of us were MBC regulars but once again the creative slant that Shelley and the team brought to this, the saddest of events, reached out beyond our doors and in a simple yet imaginative fashion into the community we long to serve.
The next part of the Easter jigsaw drops into place on Sunday when at 11am in church and on our YouTube channel we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection.
