Christians of all ages are invited to join in four united worship and outreach events this Easter!
'Easter Hope! - 2024 is about sharing the message of Hope that is found in the Easter Story and the new life that we have in Jesus,' said Emily Cumberbatch, Acting President of Churches Together in Weston-super-Mare and district. 'We are co-ordinating three events - a March of Hope on Good Friday, A worship & testimony outreach on Easter Saturday and a Sunrise Vigil on Easter Sunday morning and we would encourage anyone who can, to join us!'
Good Friday March of Hope! - Town Centre - 12 Noon
Our united Easter March of Hope on Good Friday 29th March 2024 is a timely opportunity for believers to share the message of Hope that Easter brings.
We will gather just before 12 noon outside Emmanuel Church, Oxford Street, Weston-super-Mare.
The Route - Those gathered will walk behind a cross down Oxford Street towards the seafront. We shall cross to the opposite (north side) Oxford Street pavement at Nandos, continuing walking towards the seafront. We will cross over Marine Parade and then turn right, walking along the promenade to the Grand Pier. We will then turn right down Regent Street and left along the High Street to the Italian Gardens.
We arrive at the Italian Gardens in time for an act of worship for Good Friday from about 12.30pm. The service will be led by local church leaders with worship led by local singers and musicians.
If it is raining very badly, we will forego the walk and meet for the act of worship at Emmanuel Church at 12 noon.
