These are Lent & Easter events this year.
Fridays in Lent. Come and spend some time in silent prayer before the Holy Sacrament.
A Palm Sunday service of devotion commemorates Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem with prayer, Scripture, and symbolic action, while already turning the congregation’s attention toward the Passion.
A Holy Week contemplative Eucharist is a simple, prayerful celebration of Holy Communion marked by silence and reflection on Christ’s journey toward the cross.
Maundy Thursday remembers Jesus’ command to love one another, given at the Last Supper, and recalls the institution of Holy Communion and Jesus’ act of humble service in washing his disciples’ feet.
Followed by a watch until midnight at the altar of repose.
A children’s Good Friday service is a quiet, reflective act of worship that tells the story of Jesus’ death with sensitivity to help children explore themes of love, sadness, and hope.
Good Friday Walk of Witness is a public Christian procession, where the parishes of Willingdon, Hampden Park and The Hydneye walk together from St Peter, the Hydneye to Hampden Park, to remember Christ’s journey to the cross.
We all gather in Hampden Park (by the tea chalet) to remember Jesus’ journey to the cross. This public act of witness invites all to pause and reflect on the meaning of Good Friday.
The Good Friday liturgy is a stark and reverent service centred on the reading of the Passion, solemn prayer, and the veneration of the cross, observing Christ’s death in silence and hope.
Easter Day dawn vigil is a quiet yet joyful service held at sunrise, marking the resurrection of Christ as light overcomes darkness and the Easter proclamation is first heard.
Followed by breakfast together.
