Our Service of Holy Communion and the Maundy Watch is at 7.30pm
Good Friday is the most solemn day of the Church’s year. We enter into the darkness and dereliction of the cross as we contemplate Jesus. As today also makes clear, even in the midst of the horror of the cross, God’s love is poured out in Jesus’ death

From earliest times Christians have gathered through the night of Easter to recall the story of God’s saving work, from creation through to the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We experience new life - light which offers hope to all.

Easter Day is the most important day of the Church’s year when we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection with joy and splendour, offering the hope of new life to all.08:30 Eucharist with Hymns (St Botolph)
