On Easter Sunday, the Church of England holds a service to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. This service is an opportunity to reflect on the event and reaffirm faith in the Christian scriptures. The Easter Sunday service often includes readings from the Bible, singing, and prayer.

Here's a more detailed look at what you might expect at an Easter Sunday service at Holy Cross:

The Easter Vigil
The first service of Easter is the Easter Vigil, which begins on Holy Saturday evening. It includes symbolic waiting around a fire, lighting the Easter candle, and renewing baptismal vows. 

The Easter Liturgy
The service itself is a celebration of Christ's resurrection, with the Easter Candle prominently displayed, symbolizing the light of the world. 

Readings and Prayers
The service incorporates readings from the Bible, particularly the New Testament accounts of the resurrection. Prayers of penitence and praise are also included. 

Music
Hymns and anthems are often sung, reflecting the joy of the resurrection. 

Holy Communion
We also celebrate Holy Communion, also known as the Eucharist or Mass, as a way to further express faith and connect with Christ. 

Renewal of Baptism
We may also include the opportunity for individuals to renew their baptismal vows, signifying their commitment to following Christ. 

Details of when the service is held will be announced in The Grapevine and on Social Media at the appropriate time.
