St John the Baptist Sharing Christ's love in Perth
Easter at St Johns

 

What a change there was after our Good Friday meditations…

Decorated altar

Many people worked hard on Easter Saturday to decorate the church and prepare for our Easter celebrations. The Easter morning sunshine streamed in through the windows, giving a joyous air to the whole church.

As the 8.30 Communion service ended the smell of bacon from the Threshold next door proved irresistible. Many from this early service stayed on to share an Easter breakfast and were joined by people arriving early for the 10.30 Eucharist. We must do this more often!

The church was packed at 10,30, with both balconies in use as we joyfully celebrated Christ’s resurrection. At the end of the service the children hunted enthusiastically for Easter eggs around the church, then refreshments were served in the Threshold with tea, coffee and cake.

Many flowers
