The first service of Easter begins with the symbolic expectant waiting for the resurrection of Jesus.

The Paschal Candle is lit from a new fire, which depicts the new life and light of Jesus' resurrection on the first Easter morning.

During this service we baptise, confirm and receive new Christians into the Church of God.

If you are unfamiliar with the service, you can pick up an easy-to-follow order of service at the beginning, which will guide you through each part. Visit our guidance on attending services at St Paul's for more information on what to expect.
