Sunday service of Holy Communion
This year, members of the ministry team will be leading reflections on the themes of God, Peace, Forgiveness, Silence, and Hope each Monday during Lent at St Giles-on-the-Hill. Each day begins with a simple lunch of soup and bread at 12:30 pm followed by the programme beginning around 1:00 pm. During Lent we are all encouraged to increase our awareness of God's presence through Christ; this is a fantastic opportunity to deepen our faith and strengthen our fellowship. Please feel free to bring a friend!

Our friends from St George Tombland and St George Colegate join us today on Upper St Giles Street for the Liturgy of the Palms and our procession to St Giles-on-the-Hill at the beginning of Holy Week.
As Jesus, the Servant King, rode into Jerusalem on a donkey the crowds shouted and cheered. On this Palm Sunday let us too lift our hearts and souls and voices in praise of Jesus our Lord.
Our procession into church (representing Jerusalem) is a corporate penitential act as we mark together our journey into the Lord’s passion and death.
Those same voices that cried aloud “Hosanna!” will cry out “Crucify him!” later this week.
Our Good Friday worship includes the choir singing the Gospel setting by Vittoria in a poignant service of reflection, prayer and the eucharist.
