HE IS RISEN

Septimia, what a wonderful story, thank you for sharing it.

One of my favourite hymns. I can never get through singing it without finding myself weeping tears of sorrow, of joy, of remembrance...

Thank you Sue and all others who have contributed to this thread. Happy Easter to you all. I’ve just returned from church and I enjoyed the Easter service very much and feel very uplifted now. We are now busy cooking roast lamb and last week I made a simnal cake, and so our son and his wife are joining us for lunch. We spoke to our daughter and three beloved grandchildren in New Zealand this morning and tomorrow our other son and family are joining us for a buffet lunch. Life is good.
Blessings to you Annie in your new home.

Happy Easter to all.
DH was hoping to get to church for the first time since his heart attack but was not quite well enough, so he is to have a home Communion visit later today. I had the privilege of going to church for a lovely Easter service. The last hymn was Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son!

Happy Easter Anniebach,
The Peace to you and all who read Annie's thread.

Thank you for posting this glorious morning.

We had a lovely service and lots of new faces arrived . I hope they return and join us regularly.

Septimia. thank you for your story.

He is risen indeed Hallelujah

Happy Easter everyone .

One of my favourite hymns, Anniebach - Happy Easter to you and all GNetters 🐣

Easter Blessings to all!

Thank you, Anniebach and Septimia.
I'm not long home from morning Mass, then visiting the sick with Holy Communion.

Annie, I hope you are happily settled in your new home. How great thou art has special memories for us. The piper played
it accompanying the hearse to the graveside when DH's sister's died of Covid during lockdown.

Our final hymn was Thine be the glory, Cabbie. I hope your DH continues to improve and can return to church soon.

Alleluia, Alleluia, give thanks to the Risen Lord,
Alleluia, Alleluia, give praise to his Name.

Great story Septimia. And thanks Suedonim. So nice of you.
I hope you are all having a happy peaceful Easter day.

Happy Easter Annie, enjoy your day everyone.

Happy Easter to you all.

I love that hymn Annie and we sung it at the service this morning. Not at home at the moment but in the town where Mr. S. was born and we first met.

Went to the church where we were married this morning for the Easter service and Holy Communion; always so moving on this day.

Thank you Anniebach for your post. I’m another who loves the hymn. I hope you’re settling into your new home Annie
Hallelujah

He is risen indeed!

When I saw the thread title I was hoping it was you Anniebach Lovely to hear from you!

Happy Easter everyone!

Happy Easter, Annie

I will sing to the Lord
Glorious his triumph!

A blessed Easter to all.

Thank you, Annie. He is risen indeed. Happy Easter.

He is risen indeed. Happy Easter to all, particularly to you. Anniebach.

Wishing all posters and readers of this wonderful thread a really happy and Holy Easter. Like GranMarie I was at Mass first thing this morning and then took Holy Communion to a housebound couple. It is a ministry I can easily offer to them as it just takes a bit of time and commitment - but it also is so rewarding to see the joy on their faces.
Thank you Annie for another wonderful thread.
Alleluia!

Thank you so much for joining me today x

Thank you for inviting us x

What a lovely thread! Thank you for starting it, Anniebach. Today our service ended with Thine Be The Glory, one of my favourites.

I wonder how many of you watched Easter at Kings on BBC1 last night and repeated on BBC2 this morning. It included some beautiful choral singing. Recommended.

Abeautiful,hymn Anniebach Jesus has truly risen from the dead ! It gives us so much hope doesn’t it ?
I went to the 5 am Mass this morning it was so beautiful and so moving .

Thank you so much for this post. I miss my old church very much, sadly closed for financial reasons.

He is Risen Indeed!

Ashcombe our evening service finished with that lovely hymn too. So happy I managed to get there!
