Celebrating Christ's Presence: Maundy Thursday

Occurring
for 4 hours, 29 mins
Venue
St Mary's, Portsea
Address
Fratton Road Portsea Portsmouth, PO1 5PH, United Kingdom

On Maundy Thursday, we remember the last supper Jesus shared with his friends. During the meal, the Servant King washed his disciples' feet. Afterwards, he led them to the Garden of Gethsemane and asked them to "watch and pray".

Join us for a Eucharist of the Last Supper. Afterwards, you are invited to take part in a vigil of silent prayer, lasting until midnight. We are still looking for more volunteers to help sustain this vigil; if you intend to attend, please sign the list in church so that we can see which 15-minute slots still need filling.

St Faith's will also be holding their Eucharist of the Last Supper at 6pm; this will similarly end with a vigil of prayer.

Good Friday for Young People

Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue
St Mary's, Portsea
Address
Fratton Road Portsea Portsmouth, PO1 5PH, United Kingdom

An opportunity for young people and families to learn about the story of Good Friday. Join us as we walk around the church and visit the stations of the cross, reflecting on the people who came to Jesus in his time of need and how we can learn from their example.

Afterwards, we will gather in the hall for toasted hot cross buns.

Celebrating Christ's Presence: Easter Sunday

Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue
St Mary's, Portsea

Alleluia! Christ is Risen! Join us at our 10am Sunday service as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and God's love for the world.

For those looking for a more traditional form of service, we will be holding a Book of Common Prayer service at 8am, using the words Christians have used for centuries.
