Easter Message

Posted: April 2019

On Easter Sunday, our packed, multinational church, was united in its celebration of the Easter message of love and hope. But amidst the celebration, there was also time to remember and pray for our Sri Lankan members and their family & friends back home.

Our minister Rev. Helen Kirk tweeted, "Fabulous cross of flowers as ever at Aylesbury Methodists. A real privilege to not only lead worship but to baptise 1, confirm 6 and welcome 14 into membership. And once again we ran out of wine at communion..." No wonder we needed to pull back our new sliding glass screen to allow more chairs downstairs for the service!

If you would like to watch the service, which was live-streamed, click here, or search for Aylesbury Methodists on YouTube. To see more photographs of Easter Sunday, click here.
