Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. The weeks leading up to Easter have traditionally been characterised by self-examination and self-denial, by penitence and the study of scripture, and by preparation for Easter. These characteristics emerged from earliest times as a result of the Church’s use of Lent as a time for preparing candidates for baptism. Later, the spiritual value for all Christians of joining in with these preparations came to be recognised.

As a sign both of penitence and of commitment to the Lent journey, it became common from the middle ages for Christians to be marked in ash with the sign of the cross on their foreheads. We follow this practice tonight: all who wish to do so are invited to come forward for ashing during the Liturgy of Penitence.

We mark the beginning of Holy Week by recounting the story of Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem with a procession around the church. Our service includes a dramatised reading of the Passion Narrative.

You are invited to spend an hour at the cross on Good Friday at St James'.

All are welcome to come and join in the Easter fun - search for eggs, have a go at the chocolate tombola, eat cake, drink tea/ coffee and find out something about the Great Easter Story.

All are welcome to join us for a joyful celebration on Easter morning. There will be singing, prayer, breaking bread together - there may even be some chocolate!
