Maundy Thursday Tenebrae

for 1 hour
Wargrave St Mary's
Mill Green, Station Road Wargrave Reading, RG10 8EU, United Kingdom

Our service on Thursday 2nd April will take the form of a Tenebrae service, a quiet and reflective time of worship during Holy Week. Through readings, prayer, and the gradual extinguishing of candles, we will journey through the events leading to the suffering and death of Jesus, remembering the sorrow, abandonment, and sacrifice that shape this sacred story. This moving and contemplative service invites us to pause, reflect deeply, and prepare our hearts as we approach Good Friday and the hope that will come with Easter.

Wargrave St Mary's

St Mary's is located in the heart of the large village of Wargrave and is beautifully situated beside Mill Green. It is the oldest (parts dating back to the 12th Century) and biggest of the three Churches in the Parish.

Our vision at St Mary’s is to be a church at the heart of our community, and our hope is that every Christian will be empowered at St Mary’s to flourish in ministry for the good of the whole community.

There are two services each Sunday: 8:00am and 10:00am, as well as Fun & Faith at 9:45am - 11:00am.

We also have a Crèche at the back of church and a Quiet Children's Activity Area for those that wish to stay in the church during the service.

Close by, The Hannen Room and St Mary's Church Centre are within the churchyard for use throughout the year.
