This Easter weekend is our regathering weekend!
After such a long season scattered and apart, we are so excited to be regrouping as a church, and invite you to join us this weekend at two great environments to connect with the Easter event – together!
Tonight is our Maundy Thursday Contemplative Service, 8-9pm at Community Hall. This special evening is helping us to enter the drama of Easter through a liturgy of Scriptures and story, songs and silence, candles and quietening down. Come and begin the Easter weekend deeply tonight! Here are the details (though signup isn’t required now, it would help to know if you are coming!)
Then, on Sunday is our Ressurection Sunday Gathering, 10am at Epsom Girls Grammar Hall. This morning gathering will be our own resurrection of sorts: our first Sunday back, starting a season of being all together in one location and time so we can regroup and reconnect as a church. Youth, New Lynn and 4pm gathering people, this is for you too! We want to take the next several Sundays to be one church gathering so we can reenvision and enjoy God’s renewal work amongst us together again. If you haven’t visited our EGGS gathering location before, we’d love to see you, here are the details.
As we have now moved to the Orange Alert level, registrations are no longer required, but at the gatherings, we will be following public health advice and our heart is to do all that we can to look after the vulnerable amongst our church whānau, so:
be prepared to spread out a little and make a bit of space
we encourage masks to be worn inside (our team and volunteers all will be, except for when up the front)
if you are unwell or have any coldlike symptoms, please stay at home
We can not wait to see you this weekend, and if you are heading away, then we want to wish you safe travels and hope that your soul is filled as you head out of the city for a rest and a holiday. We look forward to seeing you next weekend as we gather again at EGGS (or a weekend soon after!)
