Event
Easter Sunday
Easter is celebrated by Churches in the West on the first Sunday following a full moon that occurs on or following 21st March (the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere). This means Easter changes date every year - it can occur as early as 22nd March (next in 2285) or as late as 25th April (next in 2038). The Feast of Easter is naturally linked to the Jewish Feast of Passover. In the late 3rd century there was beginning to be some dissatisfaction in the Church with regard to how the date was calculated. It was decided to not rely on the Jewish calendar at The First Council of Nicea in 325 and for scholars in the Church to do their own calculations.
The Eastern Church calculates it slightly differently and so will often have a different date. The Western Church since 1583 has been using 21st March under the Gregorian calendar to calculate the date of Easter, while the Eastern Orthodox continued and still continues to use 21st March under the Julian Calendar.
COVID
All of our Meetings are now being held physically in our building. It's good if you've been vaccinated. If you have any COVID symptoms please do not come, but let us know so that we can pray for you. Face coverings have not needed to be worn since 20th February 2022 and you have not needed to sign in since that same date. There is still hand sanitiser available for your use.
From 22nd March 2020 we had to predominantly meet on Zoom, with very occasional physical Services as the Government guidelines allowed. From 18th April 2021 we met alternate weeks on Zoom and physically. All of these Zoom Services were put on YouTube. From 5th September 2021 we have been meeting physically every Sunday. We are not holding any regular online Meetings now.
