Easter 2015
Easter Egg Competition
We had some fantastic decorated eggs in our Easter Egg competition. Minions appeared to be a theme, but all were very creative.
Easter Egg Hunt
Following our Easter Sunday service, the children burnt off some energy in the Easter Egg Hunt (or should that be stampede!)
Easter Monday Pilgrimage to St Albans
And on Easter Monday a group of us walked the 11 miles to St Alban’s Abbey for the Pilgrimage service. We had beautiful weather for the walk and then had a relaxing picnic outside the Abbey before a wonderful service celebrating the risen Lord.

Holy Week and Easter 2015
Palm Sunday – Holy Communion
Sunday 29th March – 10.00am
Our traditional Palm Sunday Service where we celebrate Christ’s entry into Jerusalem before starting his final week of ministry. Service starts with a palm cross parade and includes a dramatic reading of the Passion.
Maundy Thursday – Holy Communion
Thursday 2nd April – 7.30pm
Maundy Thursday is one of the most holy days of the Christian year. It is when we remember Christ’s promise to us, it is the moment when Jesus gave us the Eucharist as our main act of worship and it is the service when he washed the feet of his disciples and set us the example of how to live as Christians.
Good Friday Services
Friday 3rd April – 11am (United Service in South Oxhey Precinct)
Friday 3rd April – 2.30pm (Service at All Saints’ Church)
Please join us as we remember the sacrifice that Jesus made for us as he suffered on the cross to save our sins. Good Friday is also one of the holiest days in our calendar and it is important that as Christians we all observe it seriously.
There is no Easter without Maundy Thursday or Good Friday.
Easter Day – Holy Communion
Sunday 5th April -10.00am
Come and join the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection . The service will start outside – beside Oxhey Chapel – with the lighting of the Pascal Candle from a fire. The lit candle will then be carried into the church symbolising the light of Christ coming into the world.
This will be an All Age service.
Our Easter Service will be followed by our Decorated Egg Competition and Egg Rolling Competition.
Easter Monday Pilgrimage to St. Albans Abbey
Monday 6th April
Walk to the Abbey, or meet us there for a picnic before the service of thanksgiving. Check out our Events page for more details.
