3rd Sunday of Lent Sunday 8th March 2026 Parish Eucharist - Mitcheldean 11am Collect Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Special services during Holy Week On Palm Sunday our Parishes join together for worship at St Michaels Church Mitcheldean.
