Easter

Here at St Basil’s we don’t want to “rush to Easter Sunday”. Instead, we want to enter into the dramatic actions of Jesus’ journey from the garden to the cross to the grave and pause to feel their significance before celebrating the risen King on Easter Sunday!

Maundy Thursday

Church Offices
Thursday 2nd April
8 - 10pm

On the night before Jesus died, he went to pray in the Garden of Gethsemane and took with him some of the disciples. This is the setting of Jesus' great wrestle with the reality off the cross to come and the moment of his great prayer: "yet not my will be done but yours".

To mark this moment in the journey to the cross we are gathering for silent prayer to meditate on the agony of the garden and what this great moment of surrender means for us.

The Silent Contemplative Prayer will be held in the barn at the Church Offices (Unit 6, Dunchideock Barton, EX6 6DR).

Good Friday

West Town Farm
Friday 3rd April
12 - 1pm

We are gathering on Good Friday for an "hour at the cross" – a more reflective service of worship, prayer and a short talk focussed on the cross of Jesus.

This will be held at 12-1pm at West Town Farm, Ide, EX2 9TG.
Children are welcome and we will have some craft activities for them to do, however it will be a quieter service of reflection.

Easter Sunday

Exmouth Beach
Sunday 5th April
10.30am

Join us for baptisms on the beach as part of our Easter service celebration.

We’ll be gathering on Exmouth Beach at 10.30am, meeting opposite the Bumble & Sea cafe, Orcombe Point, EX8 2AY

Following the baptisms we’ll be toasting 5 years of St Basils Church with chips and bubbly.
We would love to see you there.
