Follow the drama of Holy Week and Easter as it unfolds

On Sunday 28th March Palm Sunday the Eucharist re-enacts the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem on a donkey.

1st April Maundy Thursday commemorates Jesus washing his disciplines feet and then eating his Last Supper with them before he prepares to face betrayal, trial and death. The service is followed by a vigil - a quiet time to reflect on the meaning of it all.

The Good Friday service has no Communion. We try through the liturgy of the day to share the sense of loss and abandonment.

On Holy Saturday 3rd April prayers are offered on the Day of Waiting, and the church is prepared for
Easter Day , a celebration of a festival of light, an occasion to renew our Baptismal Vows and give thanks for Life!

Service times are to be found on the "Services" Page.
Further notes about the Services are available here.
