Your parish at Easter - Press - STP conference
A message from Save The Parish national steering committee member Emma Thompson We hope you had a very Happy Easter. Your parish at Easter Please do send us your parish stories, showing any ways in which your parish demonstrated its value to local people this weekend. On Easter Day, my Rector took a service in each of his churches and was busy all day, driving the lit Easter candle around in his car between villages. I amateurishly conducted my parish church choir in a joyous rendition of Cecil Cope's anthem "He is Risen". Four young adults who were home for the Easter weekend, including one of my sons, rejoined the choir. I feel and hope that this illustrated the value to them of rootedness in a place and still feeling a sense of "belonging".
