Tenebrae

Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue
Easthampstead Parish Church
Address
Crowthorne Road, Easthampstead Bracknell, RG12 7ER, United Kingdom

This evening, we gather for a service of shadows, a time to reflect deeply on the suffering and death of Jesus Christ. "Tenebrae" means darkness, and through Scripture, music, and the extinguishing of candles, we journey with Christ to the cross. The growing darkness symbolizes the weight of sin and the deep sorrow of this day.

As the service concludes, the loud sound you will hear represents the stone sealing Jesus' tomb—a stark reminder of the finality of His burial. Yet, even in this solemn moment, we hold onto the hope of resurrection and new life that awaits.

Safeguarding

Our Parish Churches are committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Oxford’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO [details can be found on the safeguarding link below] or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor [details can be found here... www.oxford.anglican.org/safeguarding]. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
