Easter Roadshows for the children of local primary schools will take place in the beneifce of East Vale & Avon during the days leading up to Holy Week. The roadshows will take place at different churches within the team, providing a great opportunity for members of the school communities to interactively engage with both their local churches and the Easter story.
Several schools will get involved with the project, including The Littletons CE First, Offenham CE First, Cleeve Prior CE First, Badsey First and Bretforton Village. As the children make their way around their church, they will hear the Easter story from the
perspectives of supporting characters who were involved in Holy Week. Characters will include the woman who saw Peter in the courtyard after the Last Supper, a Roman solider present at the Crucifxion, and a member of the crowd on the roadside to
Golgotha, amongst others. Children will have the chance to ask questions, once they have heard the different viewpoints.
The Revd Philip Morton, Vicar of the Benefice of East Vale & Avon Villages, said, ‘It’s quite a big project with costumes and props to sort out, so prayers would be most appreciated!’
Please pray for all who are involved in organising this retelling of the Easter story and for all the children and school staff who will attend.
