These are Lent & Easter events this year.

Maundy Thursday Evening Sung Eucharist

Tonight we share bread and wine to remember Jesus’ Last Supper with his disciples and his subsequent betrayal and arrest. We also recall Jesus washing the feet of his disciples as an act of love and service. Our worship ends in confusion and darkness as we move in heart and mind to the Garden of Gethsemane, keeping watch with Jesus.

Good Friday Liturgy

for 1 hour, 15 mins
St Mary & St Eanswythe
Church Street Folkestone Kent, CT20 1SE, United Kingdom

We join Jesus for the last hour on the Cross, hearing once again the Gospel story of his last hours. We also take the opportunity to ‘venerate the Cross’ as a token of our love and respect for Jesus’ sacrifice. Finally, we share in Holy Communion; the sign and symbol of the eternal sacrifice of Jesus.

Easter Vigil

for 1 hour, 15 mins
St Mary & St Eanswythe
Church Street Folkestone Kent, CT20 1SE, United Kingdom

Not to be missed! This is absolutely one of the best services of the year as we begin to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead! We move from darkness into light as the Paschal (Easter) Candle is lit from a new fire and brought into church. We hear the story of God’s love for us read aloud, before Jesus’ resurrection is proclaimed and we live in its light, literally and figuratively. Join us to renew your baptismal vows and share the bread and wine of the eucharist. Stay on afterwards to celebrate with a glass of something bubbly!

Easter Day Eucharist

for 1 hour, 15 mins
St Mary & St Eanswythe
Church Street Folkestone Kent, CT20 1SE, United Kingdom

The whole church family gathers to continue celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus with music, prayers and lots of shouts of ‘Alleluia!’ along with sharing the bread and wine of the eucharist. There’s an Easter Egg hunt afterwards for children too!
