Three Hours at the Cross

for 3 hours
Christ Church, Matchborough
Ryton Close Matchborough, B98 0EW, United Kingdom

On Good Friday we gather for Three Hours at the Cross, a quiet and meaningful space to reflect on Jesus’ journey to Calvary. The time is split into three one‑hour blocks, and you’re welcome to stay for all of it or come for the hour that suits you. The first two hours offer simple, reflective space to ponder the Cross—using art, music, and Scripture to help us slow down and sit with the weight and wonder of the story. In the third hour we come together as a gathered community to share Communion, remembering Jesus’ sacrifice and the hope it brings to our lives and our neighbourhood.
