Once again, St Peter and St Paul’s Church are inviting the children to create an Easter Garden at home. Similar to the Nativity scene at Christmas, an Easter Garden is the recreation of Christ’s tomb.
An Easter garden has three essential features: a mound with at least one cross to represent Calvary; a stone or stone structure to suggest the empty tomb; and lots of live greenery and flowers. Easter Gardens should be brought into school on Monday 28th March so the Faith Team and Rev Phe can judge them on Tuesday 29th March.
The Easter Gardens will then be displayed in the hall from Tuesday 29th until Thursday 31st March where there will be an opportunity for each class to visit the hall to look at the different creations. The winning entry will be announced in our Easter Service on Thursday 31st March. We welcome individual entries or joint entries with siblings or friends! The gardens will be taken over to St Peter and St Paul’s Church on Friday 1st April where they will be on display over the Easter period.
If you would like to find out more about how to make an Easter Garden, RE Quest have made a short presentation you could watch HERE.
