Dear Friends,"How can you believe in God, when there is so much violence and injustice in the world?" So many of us wrestle with this question, which is answered for us eloquently by Christ on Good Friday, when He enters into the violence and injustice of the world and changes them from within into experiences where we can meet with Him. Please join us for our Holy Week and Easter Services at St Mary`s as we seek to connect the suffering being endured in the world with the passion and resurrection power of Christ.Blessings and best wishes, Jeff Hopkin WilliamsParish Priest at St Mary’s Twickenham.***PALM SUNDAY – 2nd April9.30am Eucharist with the blessing of Palm Crosses.6pm Passiontide Sequence of Words and Music, led by the Marble Hill Singers.Holy Wednesday – 5th April10am Eucharist MAUNDY THURSDAY – 6th April 7.30pm Eucharist of the Last Supper and Gethsemane Watch until 9pm.GOOD FRIDAY – 7th April9am Ecumenical Walk of Witness from Twickenham Green 12noon - 2.30pm Meditations at the Foot of the Cross, led by Bishop +Richard Harries.2.30pm LITURGY OF GOOD FRIDAYHoly Saturday – 8th April3pm A Service of Prayer and Remembrance for all those who are buried in our grounds.EASTER DAY – 9th April9.30am FESTIVAL EUCHARIST
