March 31st – Easter Saturday – A time of silent meditation, acknowledging the loss and sadness the first disciples experienced that first Easter Saturday. St. Luke’s will be open from 7.30-8.30pm for those who want to come in and participate in the silence. A guided meditation will be provided so all can take part, wherever we are on that day.

April 1 – Easter Day – We are experimenting with something new! We will hold a ‘sunrise’ service on Easter Sunday. This simple service starts at 7:30am and will last about 45 minutes.

(Please note, this is not a service of Holy Communion).

We then have breakfast before our main Easter celebration with Holy Communion which starts at our regular time of 10.00am.
