​Hello Everyone :)

Holy Week and Easter are here- the most important time in the Christian Year- so here's just a little reminder of the times and dates for our Easter Services throughout Holy Week:

​Wednesday 23rd, 7pm - Stations of the Cross
Picture

​A guided look at our Stations of the Cross paintings of the Easter Story, with reflections and prayers led by our Reader.



Thursday 24th, 7:30pm - Maundy Thursday Eucharist of the Lord's Supper, followed by a short vigil in the Garden of Repose in the Lady Chapel ​
Picture

A service of Holy Communion to mark Christ's Last Supper with his disciples, followed by a short Vigil where we sit quietly to reflect on their time in the Garden of Gethsemane.



Friday 25th, 1pm - Stations of the Cross
Picture

A second chance to take a guided look at our Stations of the Cross paintings of the Easter Story, with reflections and prayers led by our Reader.

​
                      2pm - Good Friday Liturgy​​
Picture

A service, with Communion from the Reserved Sacrament consecrated on Maundy Thursday, to mark Christ's Crucifixion and an opportunity for prayer, reflection and contemplation at the foot of the Cross.


​
Sunday 27th, 10am (30 minutes earlier than our usual Sunday Service) - Easter Sunday Eucharist with the Lighting of the Paschal Candle​​.
Picture

​A Holy Communion to celebrate Christ's Resurrection. 
(Don't forget, the clocks go forward at 2am Sunday so make sure you change yours before you set your alarm!)
​

Please note: As you may already have seen on the website or via email if you subscribe to our Newsletter (if you haven't subscribed yet and would like to then you can go to our Sign-Up page or email us with your name and email address), there is a change to the start time of our Maundy Thursday Eucharist, which will now start at 7:30pm.



Easter is such a special time for Christians across the country and the world... we hope you will be able to join us at St. Cross to celebrate!


Wishing you a blessed Easter,
The St. Cross Web Team

***In Other News***
We want to say 'Thank you!' to everyone who came along to our Easter Market Event on Saturday... it was a successful day with chances to catch up with old friends and make some new ones- as well as helping raise some much-needed funds, too, of course!! We will hopefully be back before too long with a post about the day!! :)

The website will soon be updated with details of our Easter Services, so stay tuned for that!!
