He is risen indeed!
Karen leads our Easter service for 2020. Chris follows up on last week by looking at how the resurrection story was reported in John’s gospel, Maureen gives us an update on how her family is coping with the coronavirus outbreak, plus prayers from Paul and a reading from Pete.
Another Pete (Roberts, not Robinson) has chosen this week’s music and the playlist can be found in the paragraph below the video.

As we enter a very different Holy Week to the one we were expecting a few weeks ago, Chris looks at Palm Sunday through the way it is reported in John’s gospel. Susan is our service leader and she also introduces updates from Amanda, Nick and Emily, prayers from Lynne and a Palm Sunday poem read by Shona.
Mike has chosen the music for this week and the playlist can be found in the paragraph underneath the video.

Chris concludes our series in Esther and ties up the themes and threads that have been running through the past few months. He also asks how we can apply them to our unusual current situation. Elsewhere in the service, Ricky leads prayers, Karen explains how the situation is affecting her and Barry and Lynne read a poem together.
Also, one of our worship leaders, Pete Roberts, has chosen the songs for us to listen to this morning. The playlist can be found in the paragraph below the video.

In a world that suddenly seems a lot different to the one that we’re used to, this week we have a very different kind of service. The outbreak of coronavirus and the drastic measures we have all now had to take to slow down it’s spread seem to have taken us all completely by surprise and underprepared. But were we?
In the first of what we’re all praying is a very short series of video services Chris looks at what God has been teaching us as a church over the past year and how we can use all that we have heard to help us deal with the new situations we find ourselves in. We also have prayers from Susan and reflective poetry read by Barry.
To help it feel more like a proper service, Lynne has put together a playlist of songs that you can listen to after the message and reflect on how God is prompting you to respond. Find the YouTube playlist in the paragraph below the video.
Every believer is qualified to be a servant of the new covenant. Chris reminds us what that covenant is and how we can each serve.
Chris explores the themes of remembering and assembling in Esther chapter 9 and applies them to our own call to remember and assemble.
How should we respond to worry? Edited highlights of our all age service!
Mordecai and Esther had different roles to play but were united in their goal. Similarly we are many but one body and we each have a part to play. In the light of this we should stand firm, putting on the full armour of God.
Susan reminds us of how God defeats the enemy in the places of despair and loss of hope; challenges us to identify those areas of our lives where despair and resignation have set in; and encourages us with the good news that the Lord, who is our shepherd, longs to shepherd our souls through every disappointment in life and to bring restoration. He restores our souls.
In Esther chapter 7 we see God continuing to work through seeming coincidence to bring a divine reversal. God bring this about through Esther as she recognises her royal position may have been given to her for a reason. Chris sees the links with Holy Week and applies the a new testament perspective as we recognise that we were born for such a time as this.
As a follow up to our away-day with Ken Benjamin, we watch and discuss two further videos and Chris and others bring us feedback on what had been discussed on the away-day itself.
