5th Sunday of Lent 2026 (Online Holy Communion)

for 5 days, 14 hours, 59 mins

Our Lenten journey continues. Lent is a time for self-examination, penitence, self-denial, study, alms-giving, all in preparation for Easter. It lasts for forty days and forty nights reminding us of Jesus' time spent in the wilderness, being tested by Satan.

If you are unable to attend a service in one of the churches in the benefice in person, you are warmly invited to join in with our Rector, The Revd Mark Woodrow, in an act of Spiritual Communion from your own home, as he celebrates Holy Communion from the Vicarage.

The readings for today are Ezekiel 37:1-14, Romans 8:6-11, and John 11:1-45.

The hymns for today are, Come, people of the risen King, and, Jesu, lover of my soul.

A service booklet to accompany this weeks service is available to download below, alternatively please email [email protected] to be added to the weekly email list and receive a copy automatically.
