Easter Celebrations at Fareham United Reformed Church

Many from the congregation joined with other Christians from local churches in a walk of witness on Good Friday. After a brief act of worship, braving the rain, in the Sensory Garden those taking part went to the shopping centre and distributed hot cross buns, each wrapped in a napkin printed with the Easter story, to shoppers.

Easter day began with a well attended communion service, led by the Revd Brenda Russell. This was follwed by a church family breakfast when 80 people enjoyed a full English meal (or a continental version for those with smaller appetites). At 10.30 there was a crowded church for an all-age worship service, led by the Revd Nigel Rogers, where the members of the Junior Church took a full part and were presented with Easter eggs at the end of the service.
