Following the mood changes of Holy Week through the different services can be a very moving experience and makes the Easter Day service more meaningful
Sunday 17th April on Palm Sunday the Eucharist re-enacts the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem on a donkey.
Maundy Thursday on 21st April 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 23rd 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.
