APRIL|  EASTER AT SPEEN CHURCH

We enjoyed fellowship and a time of refection with communion at our Passover Supper on Maundy Thursday. On Good Friday we met for a family friendly walk followed by hot cross buns and the opportunity for creative prayer in the Chapel. 

Our Easter Day celebration started with an outdoor service of praise and worship as we were invited to "Come, See, Go and Tell" the good news just as the angel told Mary at the empty tomb:

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.  He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’   Matt 28:5-7 

MARCH  |  EASTER WITH SPEEN SCHOOL AND TODDLERS AND TIDDLERS

We were delighted to welcome Speen School to the Chapel where they explored the story of Easter in the Garden and made some beautiful stained glass window decorations in Chapel Hall.

Toddlers and Tiddlers enjoyed an Easter egg hunt in the Chapel and received a storybook about Easter.

MARCH  |  EASTER GARDEN

The Easter Garden in Speen Churchyard told the story of the first Easter from Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, his betrayal by a close friend, the Last Supper with his disciples, his death on the cross dying for the sins of the world and his victorious resurrection from the grave giving us the promise of eternal life!

Our prayers are with the people of Syria and Turkey after the devastating effects of the recent earthquake on a region of the world already affected by war and poverty.  In addition we held a Pop-Up Soup Lunch to demonstrate the love of Jesus for those impacted by the earthquake.  Over £1090 was raised - thank you to everyone who took part.

DECEMBER  |  Christmas at Speen Church

The story of the very first Christmas was retold through songs and drama at our Christmas Eve carols by candlelight service, film at the Movie Night, a "Happy Birthday Jesus" party with Tiddlers and Toddlers and through our outdoor family-friendly Nativity Trail around the village. As we go into the new year we continue to celebrate the wonderful gift of Jesus: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

NOVEMBER  |  Remembrance Sunday
