nearly standing room only

Easter day at at Rochford at the 9.30 service we were nearly standing room only. Still a way to go before that happens and the building doesn't hold hundreds,  but the church felt full, the singing was good as was the atmosphere.
Stoke Bliss at 11.15 wasn't quite as full, but still a good number.

Now we move on to the new pattern of services which means this sunday we're 8.30 Prayer Book Communion at Eastham and 10.00 All Age family Service at Stoke Bliss.
