A beautiful journey of services.
We've been focussing in Lent on the spirit led life. An amazing series of Lent groups attended by fifty of the congregation. Now is the time to really focus on how Jesus Christ initiated it all. Please join us, even if you've never been to us before.
April 1st 10am is Palm Sunday.
Follow the donkey in: listen to the readings of the Passion to initiate the week.
Monday April 2nd, Tuesday April 3rd: 8pm
Meditative eucharists, with short meditations led by members of the congregation, based on a Gospel character's experience of Holy Week.
Wednesday 12.30pm and 8pm.
Agape meal eucharists.
Share a middle eastern meal and over the course of three courses, participate in the eucharist prayer. It sounds strange but it works: for many, it's the most meaningful eucharist of the year.
Thursday April 5th: 8pm.
Maundy Thursday.
Jesus washes the feet of the disciples but is betrayed. We remember the Last Supper and then strip the Church. Utter quiet. Candlelit. Peace.
Friday April 6th:
12.30-3.30pm. In the hall: Children's workshop. Full of Easter activities. Ideal for children between 5 and 11.
12-3 In the Church: Adults meditation. 2pm to 3pm will be the main liturgy.
Saturday April 7th: 8pm.
Easter Eve. Celebration of Jesus' rising during the night of Saturday to Sunday. Hear the ancient exultet sung. Renew your baptism vows, and witness to baptisms.
Sunday April 8th: 10am Easter Eucharist. Christ is risen. Glorious, happy service.

Lent Course continues: fast food or the eucharist?
This week sees the fourth week of our Lent course, the Spirit Led Life.
FAST FOOD: what in heaven's name are we doing?
Join the fifty of us who are exploring the Spirit Led Life together, as we consider what the Eucharist is really about.
Looking ahead, look out for our Holy Week services, starting on Palm Sunday at 10am as we follow the donkey into Church.
If you are looking for a Church that really celebrates Easter with reverence, awe and celebration, then please do join us.
The big services are, as ever, Maundy Thursday from 8pm, Good Friday at 2pm, our Easter Vigil on Saturday at 8pm and Easter Day eucharist at 10am.
See you there.
