Parish of Myland | St. Michael's Church

One of the happiest traditional events in St. Michael's is our Family Service on Mothering Sunday. We look forward to welcoming mothers - and families - from all over the Parish to celebrate motherhood, and to present posies of flowers to our mums. The service starts at 10:15am.

Easter 2010

Plans are well advanced for events in Holy Week and Easter, with events taking place in St. Michael's, Mile End Methodist Church and St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church.

On Palm Sunday, we gather at Mile End Methodist Church at 8:15 for breakfast and to receive our Pam Crosses, then walk to St. Joseph's for the Blessing of Palms at 9:15am. The service there includes a dramatised reading of Christ's Passion. Then the service at St. Michael's starts at 10:15am, with a theme of our commitment to Jesus - we have a number of baptisms at the service, which will also include Holy Communion.

Then on Maundy Thursday we remember the Lord's Supper with a shared meal and Communion at Mile End Methodist Church, starting at 6:30pm.

On Good Friday, we have a Quiet Hour from 1pm to 2pm, then there's our famous Easter Egg Hunt around Mile End, beginning with the Church service at 2:30pm.

Easter celebrations culminate in our Family Service with Holy Communion at 10:15am on Easter Day.

Lent Studies 2010

Our Lent Course in 2010, being followed by all Churches Together in Myland, will be based on the book "Our Sound is Our Wound" by Lucy Winkett. We'll have a series of six studies, delving into one chapter of the book each week.

In a departure from previous years, there will be four different times and venues where the studies will take place - sign up for the one that meets when you're free. there are sign-up sheets in St. Michaels, in Mile End Methodist Church and in St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church.
