“Notes on an Execution” by Rhidian Brook. Pub 2025. SPCK.

Participants would need to acquire the book.

The Anglican Archbishop of Jerusalem writes:

‘This book is not merely a recounting; it is an invitation to inhabit the story, making it a vital companion for anyone seeking a more immediate and heartfelt understanding of Christ’s Passion and resurrection.’

Notes on an Execution by Rhidian Brook is a book of Lenten reflections that retells the last days and execution of Jesus from a fresh, immediate perspective, placing the reader in the moment as an eyewitness, focusing on the confusion, hope, and shock of those first encountering the story without hindsight.

The Francis Trigge Library is open today from 10:00am to 12:00noon.

Dates that the library will be open over with winter months are:

All Saturdays:

2025: 11 October, 1 November, 8 November, 13 December,

2026: 10 January, 14 February, 14 March.

This is a great treasure of the church, established in 1598 when Reverend Francis Trigge, Rector of Welbourn, gave £100 for the purchase of books to set up the library. There are 356 separate items including a book printed in Venice in 1472, that is four years before Caxton introduced printing into England. Over 80 volumes are still attached by chain to the shelves, preventing their loan or theft.

Please come along to church and help make the posies of flowers for our Mothing Sunday All-Age Eucharist which takes place on Sunday, 15 March at 9:30am.

We look forward to seeing you at our All-Age Eucharist for Mothering Sunday.

The blessing of the Easter Basket containing the food for the first meal of Easter has been part of the Easter tradition for centuries, especially across Eastern Europe.

On Holy Saturday, families prepare their Easter Baskets with food for their Easter Day meal. Join us in this rich tradition by bringing your baskets to church to be blessed during this short service.

We are having a Family Meal together on Holy Saturday, rather than a Seder Meal.

It’s still very much an opportunity for the whole of our church family to come together to anticipate the resurrection; and all ages are very welcome.

We gather in church at 6:00pm as usual and we’ll share some wonderful food, listening to some acoustic music while we prepare to celebrate the Easter Vigil and Service of New Light at 8:00pm.

We very much hope that you’ll make this a priority, along with all the other opportunities during Holy Week.

Tickets must be purchased before Palm Sunday (29 March) so we know how many people to cater for.

£5 per person to cover costs (children under 16: no charge). Everyone attending (including children) must have a ticket.

Tickets are available on Sunday mornings, from the Parish Office or click on the MORE INFO button below to book online.

Easter Vigil - please bring any bells, horns or anything to make a joyful noise.

Join us for the precession from the Market Place to St Wulfram's Church where we will arrive in time for the 10:00am Choral Eucharist for East Day with Children's Easter Egg Hunt.
