Throughout Lent and Eastertide we are offering a rich programme of worship, reflection and community gatherings across our churches. During Lent, our Seven Last Words of the Cross course provides space for thoughtful reflection, alongside services such as Compline, Ash Wednesday Eucharist, and social events including a Lent Lunch and Spring Breakfast. Holy Week includes reflective communions, Maundy Thursday worship, a Walk of Witness, and Good Friday services. Eastertide is joyfully celebrated with family services on Easter Sunday. . We are especially delighted that on Palm Sunday we will be joined at St James'  by donkeys from The Elms School, helping us remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem in a way that is engaging for all ages.
