A NEW outdoor Easter service will take place in the centre of Lymm on Good Friday.

Seven churches in Lymm (St Mary’s Lymm, St Peter’s Oughtrington, Lymm Methodist Church, Cherry Lane Independent Methodist Church, St Winifride's RC Church, Lymm URC Church and Lymm Baptist Church) will meet at noon on the pedestrian area at Lymm Cross for a short time of readings, hymns and prayers to mark Good Friday.

The service is set to last around 30 minutes.

Rev Beverley Jameson, chair of Churches Together in Lymm and District, said: “This is an important day in the Christian calendar and it is very special that we can all gather together to remember Jesus on Good Friday.

"Everyone is welcome to join us.”
