Lent III Mass

Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue
St.Thomas's, Chester
Address
St.Thomas's, Chester, Parkgate Road Chester, CH1 4AG, United Kingdom

On Sunday mornings in Lent progress through the readings and liturgy of the season. Our mood is a little more serious as we put away the more exuberant Glorias and Alleluias, and we make a little more of our penitential (sorrowful) sentences. This helps us to inhabit Lent more thoughtfully, still in a way that our children and families can fully participate.

Some of the Lent services have a special flavour. The fourth Sunday is Mothering Sunday which we celebrate with gifts of flowers. The sixth Sunday is Palm Sunday, the start of Holy Week, when we recall Jesus' kingly entry into Jerusalem on a donkey. At this service we will read the Passion Narrative with different voices in the congregation playing the parts - and there are some parts which we all say together.

As Easter nears, we follow the dramatic events of the Last Supper, Jesus' betrayal, trial and crucifixion on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. Even though we encounter these events from a great distance, this helps us to feel the joy of the Resurrection on Easter Morning!

Maundy Thursday Mass

Occurring
for 1 hour

St.Thomas's, Chester
Address
Parkgate Road Chester, CH1 4AG, United Kingdom

On Maundy Thursday we remember the events of the last Supper, and Jesus' betrayal. Jesus indicated the depth of his service by washing the feet of his disciples, though they found that difficult to receive. We experience that through the offering of foot or handwashing, and share in a final Mass remembering the Last Supper. After this we move to the Lady Chapel to sit with Christ in an hour's watch, remembering the disciples' failure to stay awake with him in Gethsemane.
