Last Saturday, at Trinity Church in Abingon, there was the premier of a new musical called ‘Witness’ telling the Easter Story. It was performed by people from the Wantage and Abingdon Methodist circuit, which comprises churches in Abingdon, Didcot, Grove, Milton, Wantage and Wallingford.

Almost 400 children from schools in and around Abingdon visited Experience Easter at Trinity Church, Abingdon, the week before last. As they visited the room-sized tableaux, they wrote hopes for the world on palm crosses, dried each-others’ hands, shared bread, thought of people who are suffering, and changed nasty feelings into beautiful models – then thought how they felt about the Easter story. This was Abingdon’s eighth Experience Easter, organised by local educational outreach TrinityLearning and supported by volunteers from 10 Abingdon churches.
