3 VICAR’S LETTER
Easter 2021 It is with great joy that we can announce that we have been allowed by the Bishop of Norwich to open our churches for Easter. Therefore, the first service will be at Thompson Church on Easter Day at 10.30a.m. Please be aware that you will need to sign in as you enter the church, and wear a mask throughout the service, and you will be advised as to where to sit because of social distancing. From Easter Day we will have regular Sunday services. On Good Friday I will create a meditation on line, instead of our normal ‘Walk of Witness’. During Lent, along with so many people, I have given up chocolate and donated the proceeds to a good cause. This year it will be to the Archbishop’s Lent Appeal for churches affected by the Covid pandemic, especially in Sudan and Bangladesh. However, I still love chocolate. As my last appointment was Rector of Fakenham I used to visit the Kinnerton chocolate factory and saw the massive production of Easter eggs. These eggs are sent all over the world. I always came away with a large bag full of chocolate! Whether you are buying an Easter egg from a supermarket, or just remember gazing at one of the beautiful Fabergé Easter eggs in the Royal collection, the symbolism is just the same. The Easter egg is a symbol of new life to remind us that Jesus died on a cross, was buried in a tomb, and on Easter Day came alive and was seen many followers. During the long months of lockdown most people have had a roller coaster ride of emotion. Without the support of our congregations, communities and families, it has been difficult. But now we have some good news! For me the Easter story is worth telling to every generation because it is the key to all that we believe. So as you give, or send, an Easter egg especially to the young, tell the story of that first Easter Day. It is special because we remember the resurrection of Christ, and we are given a very special gift and promised of eternal life.
With every blessing at Easter time. Adrian Bell
