In our Study Groups this Lent we are using the book 'Notes on an Execution' by author, screenwriter and dramatist Rhidian Brook. The book invites us to immerse ourselves in the events of Holy Week, using our spiritual imagination to experience the story of the Passion afresh.

Stainer's Oratorio 'The Crucifixion', sung by the Choir of St Nicholas Church. This piece tells the last days of Jesus' life in words and music, the Biblical narrative interspersed with choruses, solos and hymns (including the well known 'All for Jesus'). The piece is described as a spiritual vehicle to convey "theology and scripture at its most profound", and the melodies "as tools of glorification for God".
Bring Palm Sunday to a close and set the scene for Holy Week with this devotional performance.

This Sung Eucharist draws us into the drama of Maundy Thursday, as we experience through our worship the events of the Last Supper, the washing of the disciples' feet, and the arrest of Jesus.
During a dramatised reading of the Gospel, members of the congregation are invited to have their feet washed, and the service ends with the stripping of the church. It is followed by the Maundy Watch (silent prayer before the Altar of Repose where the Sacrament is reserved).

We mark the most solemn day of the Christian calendar with a service of words and music, silence and symbolism reflecting on the Cross and Passion of Jesus Christ - his death by crucifixion and the transforming sacrificial love that it demonstrated.
We gather, in a church stripped bare except for a large wooden cross, to hear the story of Jesus' trial, crucifixion and death, and to reflect on its meaning. The service includes music, Bible readings, prayers and silence, as well as space and opportunity to kneel before the Cross in worship.

We welcome all to this simple service, remembering the events of Good Friday and looking forward to Easter. Part of our Simply Worship Programme, it is aimed especially at primary-aged children and their families and includes singing, child-focused Bible readings and craft activities. Hot Cross Buns will be served at the end!

This special and holy service marks the dawn of the Day of Jesus' Resurrection. We gather outside church to light the Easter Fire, we process the Paschal Candle into the dark church to fill it with light, and then celebrate together the first Eucharist of Easter Sunday. Followed by breakfast in Cornelia's Cafe!
