Holy Week 2024
The journey through the liturgies of Holy Week can change your life. In the various services we join with others in rehearsing the story of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of our Lord. As we do so, we are drawn deeply into the mystery of Christ's suffering, and together glimpse - through prayer, music and preaching - the signs of God's immense love revealed on the Cross.
Please make a note of the times of the Holy Week Services now, and join us - ideally in person, and if not online.
