We welcome you to this special anniversary service of readings, music, prayers and silence. The church has been specially decorated for the occasion and a Wall of Remembrance has been created to…
Although the worldwide Catholic Church over 50 titles for Jesus’s mother, the Gospels say very little about her. She is mentioned in the Nativity stories and is a key figure in God’s hope for the world yet much of scripture doesn’t mention her at all. This advent we will spend some time thinking about what we do know about Mary and how her part in the story can help us with our own life and faith. Using art – paintings…

Our journey to the cross with Christ continues with a service of light and dark. Jesus’s entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday starts off joyfully but as the week goes on the hopes of people begin to fade. It is all going wrong – or so it seems. This evening’s service brings out the drama of the story, and leads us into thinking about where our hopes for our lives and our world really lie. As with all our services, everyone…
This evenings service is a traditional Eucharist (Holy Communion). The word Eucharist means ‘thanksgiving’ and that’s very much the flavour of the evening. The calm before the storm of Good Friday. Following the service the altars are stripped of their hangings and the decoration in the church is removed in preparation for Good Friday, The empty sanctuary leads us into the watch in the garden of Gethsemane where Jesus, accompanied by his disciples, faced the terrible prospect of death by crucifixion,…

We light the Easter Candle and bring it in to church – a tradition that spans 100’s of years. This ancient service is followed by the first communion…
