Easter at St. Mark’s (Natland)


 On Sunday the doors will be open early for an 8a.m. quiet service of Holy Communion at the start of Easter.

Then at 10a.m. there will be a chance to feel the full experience of joy and hope that Easter brings, with Clive Walkley pulling out all the stops on the organ and flowers decorating every available surface. Easter hymns old and new will be sung and Holy Communion will be celebrated. Meanwhile children can be enjoying company, learning, playing and maybe hunting Easter eggs in Sunday School in the vestry. All are welcome.
