Easter weekend.

A fit and determined group from our Benefice congregations left East Leake at 8.30am on the traditional Good Friday walk and arrived back on time at the end of the day. They walked and had a short service in all the churches in the Benefice and included Sutton Bonington. Meanwhile, the children who attended Crossways Club brought their families and took part in a service at St Mary's at 10.30am on the Friday. The shouts of 'Hallelujah' must have been heard in Loughborough! Their crafts were laid out around the church for everyone to see and appreciate, then taken home. On Easter Sunday morning at 9.30am, we welcomed many people from the community to celebrate the Good News that Jesus had died on the cross. But the tomb was empty and He rose from dead as He promised and is alive. We have all been saved if we follow Jesus' teaching and believe in Him. What good news! Jesus is with us forever. At the end of the service there was an exciting Easter Egg Hunt, and mini eggs for everyone. During this service, Brookside School presented Revd Glynis with a beautiful banner which they had made. We would like to thank all those who made it for our church.
