This booklet is designed to help each of us walk through the events of Holy Week in step with our Lord. It contains details of all that we will be doing during Holy Week and material which will help aid our reflection in times that we are alone during the week. Prayers and readings are provided for each day. If you are unable to be present at any of the services of Holy Week and Easter you may like to find a quiet space away from the busyness of ordinary life and take time to reflect on the readings, to wait in silence and to use the prayers set for the day.

It was announced in all our churches this morning (Sunday 8th January) that we are going to have a new Team Vicar! The Revd Scott Edwards has been appointed and will be licensed here in the parish on Wednesday 29th March at 7.00pm by Bishop Michael.Revd Scott will work with our Team Rector Revd Jo across all four churches in the parish, and we look forward to benefitting from the experience that he brings from his previous parish ministry. Revd Scott is currently the vicar of St Mary’s Church in Chessington, Surrey, in the Diocese of Guildford and will be moving here to Telford with his wife Judy after his last Sunday in his current parish – which will be 12th March.Please do pray for Scott as he prepares for his new ministry; for him and Judy as they get ready to move to their new vicarage on Bartholomew Road in Lawley; and for his congregation at St Mary’s, Chessington as they hear the news this morning that they will be going into a vacancy in mid-March.
