Weekly Newsletter 14th April

Dear friends,

Happy Easter! Alleluia, Christ is Risen!

I hope you enjoyed your Easter Celebrations last weekend. I have included below a few photos we managed to capture of Messy Easter, The Dawn Service and Easter Sunday at St. Clement’s. What a fantastic time of celebration we have enjoyed.

Just a couple of things to draw your attention to this week.

Firstly, Aldworth Breakfast Church will now be on the 23rd April rather than this Sunday. This week, we’ll gather for 8.30 Holy Communion.

Next - The Annual Meeting paperwork for Basildon Parish is all now available on this website or by clicking below. Do join us on 23rd after the morning service for the APCM.

Finally, you are invited to join me on Monday, Wednesday or Friday mornings at St. Stephen’s for half an hour of prayer and worship from 9am. These sessions will be a time for prayer and worship as we lift to God the wonderful people in our communities and seek his will above all else for our churches. If you are free, please join us. If you can’t make it, please do let me know if you have any prayer requests and we’ll be sure to hold them before God too.

Love,

Grant
