20th April 2025
By Justin Dyche in Sunday Service on 26 April 2025
Good evening everyone,
First can I wish you all a very Happy Easter, and while we are not quite there yet (it is only Good Friday) I hope that many of you will join us in church on Sunday to celebrate the wonderful news that Jesus is alive…today!
I am pleased to say that our SHOWSTOPPERS HOLIDAY CLUB has gone really well with lots of children coming along each day and a wonderful conclusion this morning with mums & dads, brothers & sisters, grandparents and even some people from church. Thank you for your prayers.
After all the activity of the last couple of weeks there is not so much going on this week, although there is an early showing of the King of kings film at the Savoy tomorrow (Saturday) for anyone not enjoying a lie-in after a busy week at Holiday Club! All the details are below.
EASTER SUNDAY 20th APRIL
There are two services on Easter Sunday as follows:
6am – Sunrise Service at St Leonard’s, Rockingham followed by breakfast in Rockingham Village Hall
10.30am – All Age Easter Celebration with Communion at St Columba’s – this service will be available as a livestream here:

There will NOT be a Prayer Meeting this week.
FILM AT THE SAVOY
The new Easter animated film “King of kings” (not to be confused with the 1961 epic of the same name which was on BBC2 on Good Friday) is still on over this weekend, see times below. It is described as follows:
The untold Charles Dickens story. A father tells his son the greatest story ever told, and what begins as a bedtime tale becomes a life-changing journey. Through vivid imagination, the boy walks alongside Jesus, witnessing His miracles, facing His trials, and understanding His ultimate sacrifice. The King of Kings invites us to rediscover the enduring power of hope, love, and redemption through the eyes of a child.
You can watch this on the following days and times:
Saturday 09.45
Sunday 12.00
Monday 12.00
SUNDAY 27th APRIL
We have just one service next Sunday, MORNING WORSHIP at St Columba’s, with the children preparing for the following week’s All Age service. Please note there is not a Communion service at Rockingham.
