Journeying Through The Meaning Of Easter Together

What comes immediately to mind when you think about Easter? Chocolate Eggs, Fluffy Chicks, adorable bunnies, or the start of Spring? For many of us it means time off from work, spending more time with family and friends or maybe heading down to the beach for that first swim of the year.

But for the billions of Christians around the world it’s a time of great sorrow and great joy as they remember the Easter of 2000 years ago and the events in Jerusalem which led to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Here in the Algarve the churches are preparing to welcome their regular Congregations plus, of course all the visitors that arrive at this time of year, who in spite of being on vacation still want to treat Easter as a time of special significance.

Christ The King Anglican Church in Almancil have planned a Holy Week Schedule that will lead their Congregation through Palm Sunday and the arrival of Christ in Jerusalem to his glorious resurrection 7 days later. Traditional services are to be held in “The Church in the Park” Jardim das Comunidades, Almancil on Palm Sunday (24th March), Good Friday (29th March) and Easter Sunday (31st March)at 10:30. For those who cannot travel to Almancil these services are also live on the ZOOM platform just contact Ann on 932 841 943 for details on how to join.
