Westfield

Westfield Parish Church: What a great time was had by over seventy children at the Good Friday workshop. They enjoyed all sorts of arts and crafts and an egg hunt, and finished with hot cross buns and the Easter story. Follow that! Well, we are, as our new Youth Pastor, Graham, is organising the first Messy Church on 18 May, so make sure that is in your diaries.

The church was full for a joyous service on Easter Day. The congregation brought posies to decorate the large wooden cross, adding to the beautiful flower arrangements decorating the church. Services this Sunday are Holy Communion at 8am, and Morning Praise with Youth Church at 10am.
