ST MARY MAGDALENE CHURCH

EASTER ACTIVITIES

Even if we cannot have Easter church services we can celebrate.

Are you decorating eggs for Easter? Come and place a home-made 'egg' on the Easter-Egg Tree in the Church Porch. All kinds of eggy decorations welcome, however inventive. Help us celebrate Easter by covering the tree in multi-coloured eggs, then take an activity booklet about the Easter story. Starts Saturday 3 April; porch open every day.

Visit the Easter Gardens Trail. The church will be open on Easter Day (4 April) and every day the following week (10am-4pm) for you and your families (in your 'bubbles') to see the display of Easter Gardens and flowers. Keep safe with masks and social distancing.

CHURCH OPENING

Although we are unable to hold services at the moment, it has been decided that we will open the church for private prayer. The doors will be open from 10am to 4pm every Sunday, for anyone who would like some time of quiet reflection. Please use the hand sanitizer provided.

FOOD BANK

We are extremely grateful to everyone in the village who has supported our collection for the Buckingham Food Bank. We feel it is such a worthwhile cause, as the donations go to local families, that we plan to continue with this in the coming months. The boxes will remain in the church porch for any donations of non-perishable items that you can spare. The charity are always delighted to receive the goods, especially during these uncertain times. Please help us to help them. Thank you.

SERVICES

Whilst the lockdown continues it is likely that all services will continue to be held on Zoom. Please see our Facebook page for updates.
