They were then hung up in our sanctuary in grand, fun collages.

celebrations of the 10th anniversary of our return to the restored church.
Here are a few.

Next time: Halloween!

We started off with a service on the beach at 7am.  Strangely, no photos of this event.  Eyes too bleary.

After breakfast at 8am, a 9.30 communion and then the children met at the beach at 10am.  Kites, streamers and windmills to welcome Easter.  Here’s one of the set of windmills.

After romping on the beach and some coffee/hot cross buns, it was an 11am service with communion.  The choir contributed Bach’s ‘Christians shout for joy’ as well as key bits of the communion liturgy drawn from James MacMillan’s St. Anne’s Mass.  Beautiful.  And now inserted between Curtains 1 and 2 by Rachael Thomas was the Easter Banner.  In front of the communion table are two kites made by the Breakfast Club during their overnight vigil and a prayer burst of sunlight.  A fantastic Easter.

The curtains are the work of a final year art student at the Edinburgh College of Art, Rachael Thomas.  A description of her work and some of my thoughts can be found elsewhere on the website.
