Holy Week The Holy Week services commenced on Sunday 29th March with Palm Sunday, during which we listened to a dramatic reading of “The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew”. On Thursday 6 th , we held our Maundy Thursday service which was drawn from the Celtic Church tradition which connected easily with the natural world around it and did not strive to control nature but instead focussed on the power between, in an equality of life . During this service the congregation were invited to come forward for hand washing. At the end of the service the altar was stripped and a vigil held. On Good Friday. we followed Christ from his condemnation to his burial in the tomb with the 14 Stations of the Cross. Easter Sunday was welcomed with brilliant sunshine. The Church was beautifully decorated with glorious flowers courtesy of Janey Legge and her group of flower arrangers. The service commenced with the lighting of the Paschal Candle and the renewal of baptism vows. After the service the large congregation were treated to tea & coffee together with hot-cross buns and cake.
