Good evening, a happy Easter from That's

Good evening, a happy Easter from all at Points West. Worshippers in

one of the worst`hit villages on the Somerset Levels met for the first

time today since flooding closed their church. The Bishop called them

the 'resurrection community' after all they've been through and urged

them to hold politicians to account as they rebuild their lives. Here's

Sally Challoner. Decimated by flooding three months ago, today

Moorland church rose again, throwing open the doors to its long`suffering

congregation. When we talk about congregation. When we talk `bout

resurrection and hope, this community shows what is possible.

You go through the dark times, community shows what is possible.

You go through the dark timds, even You go through the dark times, even

as our Lord did and you comd out and you think, there is life and their

is hope, and there is a futtre you think, there is life and their

is hope, and there is a futtre even if it looks different. This day

speaks of faith and courage... The pews, filling up for the first time

this spring, dried out, but still needing some attention. The keys

need to be sorted out and the building needs to be dried to get

back to its previous condithon. The back to its previous condithon. The

organ is a problem. It was cost a lot of money to repair. That is

essential work, it was working essential work, it was working

before. As it is Easter, thd village before. As it is Easter, thd village

is now rising again, it seems before. As it is Easter, the village

is now rising again, it seels to tie is now rising again, it seems to tie

in together and I think it hs very in together and I think it is very

nice. It is great community spirit to come together again. The Bishop

of Taunton gave this candle, to signify a community that's stood

together, no matter what. There will be plenty of arguments around how

the events of this year cannot be allowed to happen again. Politicians

and others have promised much, but you are the community. You are the

you are the community. You `re the resurrection community who must hold

resurrection community who lust hold them to account. It was indeed a day

them to account. It was indded a day of hope for this much`dispersed

flock. Happy then that at ldast of hope for this much`dispersed

flock. Happy then that at least some flock. Happy then that at ldast some

things are back to normal, `nd in the right place, perhaps, to ask for

this rain to stop. Police are calling for witnesses after a car

initially panic. Obviously the first thing you do is, reading thd signs,

you press the Horan, I did it thing you do is, reading the signs,

Hello. Well, it was another lovely sunny day across the north of the

UK. What a difference over the south. The rain set in for the

course of the afternoon. There's more of that to come. It has been

getting heavy across southern England. A narrow band for London,

for the south Midlands, to south Wales and the south west. Lots of

water on the roads. Overnight it will move away out towards the west.

A few showers across northern England and into Northern Ireland

for a time. Otherwise it looks like staying largely dry. A mild night as

well. Nothing like as cold as last night. Just the far north perhaps

seeing temperatures dipping away under clearer skies. A cloudy start

for many of us tomorrow. The sun will break through every now and

then. Areas bordering the Irish Sea looking good as well. You will

notice showers developing further south. As we go into the afternoon,

a zone of heavy showers across the south Midlands and into Wales.

Torrential downpours are possible. With lighter winds, between showers

pleasant. Up into the mid-or
