All are welcome to join us for our Holy Week services and activities.
Holy Week is a journey from Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, through the events of the Last Supper and Garden of Gethsemane to the Cross and on to the joy and wonder of Easter Sunday.
We would love you to join us for this journey, or for as much of it as you are able to manage. Most of our services are suitable for older children, and we would love them to participate in the week with us. Please note that many of our services are Benefice Services and some take place at The Barn Church on Atwood Avenue.
