Easter at St. Oswald’s Church Ashbourne<br />
During Lent the Church invites local primary school pupils in to<br />
“Experience Easter”. Members of the Mothers Union (who also<br />
happen to be flower arrangers) install six stations to depict Easter<br />
around the Church.<br />
These are 1) Hopes and Dreams – Palm Sunday<br />
2) Servant King – Feet Washing<br />
3) Remember Me – The Last Supper<br />
4) Alone – The Garden of Gethsemane<br />
5) Sharing Our Sorrows – At the Foot of the Cross<br />
6) Resurrection – The Empty Tomb<br />
Local Primary Schools are then invited in, in their class groups,<br />
to learn about Easter and the meanings of the stations from a team<br />
of helpers. This year we had over 300 children through the church<br />
and in addition members of the general public who visit our<br />
church every day and for services.<br />
