Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to everybody!
Normally on Maundy Thursday, all the Baptist churches in our area get together and have a service in the evening. We hold the service at one church one year and go around the other churches in turn. Then on Good Friday morning, we hold a service at our church for all the churches of any Christian denomination and the churches takes turns in leading the service. Then we have a procession of witness up the main road to the next church up the road and hold another short service in the square outside that church. On Good Friday evening we have a service at our church just for our congregation. On Easter Sunday, we have an early morning service followed by breakfast (eggs as they symbolise new life) and then a celebration service at the normal time.
This year we had a short service on YouTube on Good Friday evening and again this morning for Easter Sunday. It almost doesn't feel like Easter because it is so very, very different because of the lockdown.
Grim news this morning - fractionally under 10,000 people dead in Britain and over 102,000 worldwide from this coronavirus. Surely these figures will make people realise that they must stay home.

Happy Easter Jo. Easter is certainly different this year. I hope families continue to obey the distancing rules so we can stop this virus. I look on the worldometer site every day and the numbers around the world are just staggering!! We are staying home as much as possible. Go for a walk everyday and out for groceries when necessary. Take care.
