Easter in a small church

Back in 2007 we had no minister/pastor, so Easter services were somewhat restricted, and of necessity shared with Ruardean Hill church (who also had no pastor at the time). This is the leaflet that was distributed in the village at the time.

We don't distribute leaflets any more (I am unconvinced they are worth the cost and effort unless accompanied by some kind of interaction with the people we are trying to encourage to come), but I did put up one or two posters, which I reproduce below.

Sometimes in our church people go to great lengths to tell you how wonderful things were long ago: reminiscing at length on the baptisms when the church was packed, the wonderful singing there used to be, the massive Sunday school. But here I have evidence that while we have been very blessed throughout the years with wonderful ministry and teaching, we have as great a sense of community as ever, and that although small and with an aging congregation our church is still a lively, friendly and enjoyable place to worship.
