Our thanks to those who have sent images and thoughts for this Easter weekend. Please keep them coming.
We would usually have an Easter Garden at the churches but as we can’t visit them at the moment, people have been creating them in their own gardens.. Here are ones by Sorrel, Maxine and Kris. We also have embroidery from Margaret Emberson, poetry from Richard Myers, photos from Wendy-Rae Mitchell, Kris Lawrence and Alison Ridgeon, a reminder of how much we love our churches in some art from St Mark’s, and of course Emily Tarrant’s poem which you can read here.
There’s also music every Sunday from Margaret Emberson which you can find here.
Today’s service is apologetically focusing on the crucifixion, and contains some graphic descriptions. A warning is given, and you can scroll past these, or you can do something else instead – perhaps watch one some of the resources either below or here: https://wordpress.com/post/badshotleaandhale.org/11123.
Today’s service is in two parts. The second part is the video below the main service. At the end of the main service return here to watch the video. The two together should add up to an hour of material.

On the first three days of this Holy Week we will be having services of Compline with a short video and reflection. Today we look at the Watch.
If you click on the YouTube logo at the bottom of the screen you can make the video full screen. This doesn’t work on the video clip, as the clip doesn’t stop if you do!
If you cannot see the responses at the top of the screen, please move your mouse so that it is not over the video.
On the first three days of this Holy Week we will be having services of Compline with a short video and reflection. We start today with the foot washing.
As these services use a clip from a longer piece, you cannot click through to YouTube for the video clip, as the clip doesn’t stop if you do!
I have just discovered that my videos have text over the words I put into them. If you move the mouse away from the video these other display items will disappear, allowing you to read the text.
