These are Lent & Easter events this year.

The Encounter with Frailty

Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue
Private Residence in Wookey
Address
Private Residence in Wookey, Wookey Wells, BA5

Do we think that failure is inevitable in human experience? This session is part of a series: ‘The Mystery of Everything’, which draws on the lives of Stephen and Jane Hawkins, and which features clips from the film 'The Theory of Everything'. During the series we will explore ways that the mysteries of the universe and of everyday life can energise our faith and spiritual journeys. The sessions are all standalone sessions, so if you can’t attend all of the sessions you’ll still get something out of it. An upcoming discussion is at 7:30pm on 31st March. Please email Katrina [email protected] to get the address of the location in Wookey.

Come along to this special joyful service at the start of Holy Week. We remember Jesus entering Jeusalem. The excited crowds waved palm branches, celebrating the arrival of the long-awaited Messiah. This is the only church service happening in our churches today, so it's a chance for all of the local people to worship together. There'll be hymns, prayers, Bible readings and Holy Communion. Take away a cross made of palm leaves to help you remember Jesus over Easter. We look forward to welcoming you!

Tenebrae

Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue

Address
St Matthew's, Wookey, St Matthew's Terrace Wookey Wells Somerset, BA5 1JR, United Kingdom

Tenebrae is a chance to focus on the loss felt by Jesus' followers caused by his betrayal by Judas, his death on the cross and his burial in a tomb. This service reflects on the different shadows cast by these events, and this is symbolised by 13 candles. One by one each of these candles are extinguished leaving the church in darkness. This service reminds us that Jesus' suffered these shadows so that we might be restored to God and have eternal life.

An Hour Around the Cross

Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue
Christ Church, Coxley
Address
Christ Church, Coxley, Main Road Coxley Wells Somerset, BA5 1RG, United Kingdom

On Good Friday, we remember Jesus' suffering and death. This time symbolises us keeping Jesus company like his family, friends and followers did at the foot of the cross. This is a thoughtful and reflective service.

Easter Sunday Holy Communion

Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue
Christ Church, Henton
Address
Wells Road Henton Somerset, BA5 1PD, United Kingdom

This is a very joyful service for all ages - weather permitting! We'll remember the awesome events of Easter including the resurrection of Jesus! This is very special Holy Communion service with hymns, Bible readings and prayers. And there'll be Easter eggs to find! This year's Easter Sunday service is taking place in the churchyard, as phase 1 of the Revitalising Christ Church Henton project is being completed, so please bring chairs and picnic blankets to sit on. This year's service will be a bit more informal than in previous years, given that it's outside, so if you prefer a formal Easter Sunday Holy Communion service you might prefer to attend the 10:30am services at Coxley or Wookey.
