This Easter, churches in Radstock are coming together to create a special Easter Trail, inviting the community to journey through the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection in a way that is engaging, reflective, and accessible for everyone.
Nathanael Worsley, Curate at St Nicholas Church in Radstock has worked alongside Radstock Baptist Church to help deliver the trail, says, “The Easter story is at the heart of our faith, and we wanted to find a way to make it visible across the town. The trail will give people a chance to interact with it at their own pace—whether that’s through reflection, discovery, or simply walking with family and friends.”
The trail is a collaboration between Radstock Baptist Church, St. Nicholas Church, and other local Churches. It aims to bring people together, by providing a focal point for faith in the town. Nathanael says, “We’ve seen before how something as simple as a walking trail can create space for people to connect—not just with the story of Easter but also with each other.
“Alongside the trail, our local Churches Together group will also lead a Good Friday Walk of Witness, beginning at Radstock playground and culminating in a service in the Methodist church car park. Easter naturally draws Christians together and these events reflect that unity. It’s a reminder that faith isn’t just individual; it’s something we share.”
For many in Radstock, the Church and St Nicholas in particular, has played a key role in their upbringing, whether that’s through Sunday services, youth groups, or school connections. Nathanael says, “Even people who may not attend church regularly still have a strong sense of its presence in the community, so our hope with this Easter Trail is to remind people of the deep roots of faith here, and to invite them to rediscover the story of Jesus in a way that resonates with their own lives.
We hope that this Easter will be a time of renewed faith, reflection, and community connection. It’s not just about remembering an ancient story, it’s about encountering Jesus today, in a way that brings hope and meaning to all our lives.”
