HOLY WEEK and EASTER SERVICES -
Holy Week is one of pilgrimage. We walk with Jesus through His last days from Palm Sunday. We join in the final time he shares with His disciples at the Last Supper, and recall the institution of the Eucharist, as well as the servanthood of Christ. Then on Good Friday we reflect at the foot of the cross; reflect on the tremendous sacrifice of love.
The Easter Ceremonies give us the first opportunity to welcome the risen Christ, before we move to the great celebration of the resurrection on Easter Sunday.
We've prepared services for each day of the week to mark the pilgrimage, and would encourage you to share with us if you are able. There is a sense of fulfilment in walking with Christ through the week which is Holy.
The following services will be taking place :
Palm Sunday 13thApril 10.30am Eucharist
