IN MY JOB, the week running up to Easter can get very busy. Especially Palm Sunday (when we remember Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem), Maundy Thursday (when we remember Jesus’ last meal with His friends), Good Friday (when we remember His death) and Easter Sunday, the day of His resurrection.

But what of that Saturday that’s sandwiched in the middle of Good Friday and Easter Sunday, sometimes called “Easter Saturday”, more correctly “Holy Saturday”? Is it “back to normal”? Should we be happy (as the worst is over), or sad (because Jesus isn’t risen yet)? It can be a strangely “flat” day, or a day of mixed emotions.

But maybe that flatness, and mixed emotions, say something important to us. Between Jesus’ death and resurrection, God is still there. God is with us in our “waiting” times too. Maybe we’ve been through something difficult personally: we’ve all shared in the hard times our nation has been through and is going through. Maybe we long for a “new normal”, to come out the other side, but don’t know what that looks like yet. Perhaps Holy Saturday shows us that God is there nonetheless. In the words of a song from Les Misérables, “Even the darkest night shall end and the sun shall rise.”

GROBY SINGS has had a great start to our first season of 2023.

Singers have been so keen to start again that even the recent spell of cold, wet and snowy weather hasn’t put people off. Numbers are increasing weekly and heading towards pre-Covid levels with many returners and new singers joining us on Wednesdays for singing and socialising.

We’re delighted that our Youth & Children’s Choir has doubled in number since restarting and we’d love more young singers to join us as their fresh and lively voices add so much to our overall sound.

Our theme for Spring/Summer, Groby Sings at the Movies, is proving very popular with the choir as we’ve included songs to suit all ages and tastes from films such as Top Gun, Jailhouse Rock and Disney’s Aladdin. Groby Sings is a fully inclusive choir and everyone is welcome.
