DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate Jesus’ gift of the Eucharist\, given
  to us at the Last Supper.\n\nOn this night we focus on Jesus’ command (
 mandatum) to love one another as he loves us. Jesus’ love is shown in al
 l its fullness on the cross. But on the night before his death\, Jesus was
 hes his friends’ feet as an act of loving service. This is the kind of p
 ractical love which must characterise our life together as a Christian com
 munity\, and so we re-enact the Foot Washing as a sign of our commitment t
 o that love.\n\nThe love of Jesus was also expressed at the Last Supper by
  his giving to us of the Eucharist. At the end of the service the Blessed 
 Sacrament of Christ’s Body and Blood is carried to another part of churc
 h and a Watch of Silent Prayer is kept.

DESCRIPTION:Join us as we experience the love of God from the cross\n\nThi
 s day is a triumphant celebration of Christ’s victory. For on the Cross 
 he triumphs over sin and death\; that we might live for ever with him. We 
 focus on the instrument of execution on which our Lord died for us. The Cr
 oss is brought into church\, there is a time of silent adoration\, and peo
 ple may come forward and spend a moment there in reflection\, a moment of 
 intimacy with the crucified Christ. You may kneel or stand before the Cros
 s or remain seated in contemplation. \n\nHoly Communion is the means by wh
 ich we are united with Christ in his self-offering to the Father. And so t
 he consecrated bread from last night’s Eucharist is brought out and dist
 ributed to the people.

DESCRIPTION:Join us as we experience new life as darkness is turned into l
 ight\n\nThis is the single most important moment in the whole Church year.
  For this is the night of Christian Passover\, the night when Jesus ‘pas
 ses over’ from death to life. The Church meets at break of dawn\, watchi
 ng and waiting in vigil. Then\, as the watching and waiting ends\, the wor
 ld of darkness gives way to the rising Son of God! We celebrate Christ’s
  victory and our own ‘passing over’ from sin and death to newness of l
 ife in the risen Lord.\n\nWe begin around the New Fire\, and begin the Vig
 il which consists of readings and psalms in which we recall the salvation 
 history of the people of God. The Easter Candle is then lit and blessed. F
 rom this we light our own candles ready for the Easter Proclamation and th
 e Gospel. \n\nThen\, after the Easter Gospel\, we gather around the font f
 or the Baptismal Liturgy\, in which we renew\, and are renewed in\, our ba
 ptism and our commitment to Christian discipleship.
