Lent & Easter 2023
Brothers and sisters in Christ, since early days Christians have observed with great devotion the time of our Lord's passion and resurrection and prepared for this by a season of penitence and fasting.
By carefully keeping these days, Christians take to heart the call to repentance and the assurance of forgiveness proclaimed in the gospel, and so grow in faith and in devotion to our Lord. (Common Worship)

Holy Week 3rd April - 9th April
During Holy Week, we walk in Jesus’ footsteps through his final days on Earth. The story of this week is a narrative which embraces in the deepest way possible, suffering, loss, betrayal, pain and grief, but which ultimately leads to the promise that all things will be made new in Christ; that all the trials of earth will be transformed into the joy of Heaven.
We hope that you will be able to join us for several of these services to experience the sad solemnity of Holy Week to the joy of Easter Morning.
