Advent Carol Service

Sunday 1st December at 6.30pm

At the turning of the Church year, the beginning of Advent will be celebrated with music and readings, led by the choir.

In the candlelight we will meditate on the approaching season, and make ready to welcome Jesus at Christmas.

Everyone welcome!

Christmas Carol Service

Sunday 22nd December at 6.30pm

Join us for the traditional service of Nine Lessons and Carols, led by our robed choir. 

In the hushed, candlelit church a single voice sings 'Once in royal David's city...'. There follows the Christmas story told in words as music, and we sing together heartily the carols we know and love.

Everyone is welcome. Come early for a good seat!

Crib Service

Christmas Eve, Tuesday 24th December 2024 at 4pm

Put on your favourite Nativity costume and join in the fun and carols.

Some costumes are available for you to borrow on the day - we're often short of Innkeepers and Kings!

Holy Week

Palm Sunday

We meet at the Village Hall at 10am and process down Church Street with our palms, recreating Jesus's triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Then in the evening at 6.30pm the mood is meditative as we follow 'The Way of the Cross' (see above).

Maundy Thursday

Our service at 7.30pm commemorates Jesus's institution of the Lord's Supper, or Eucharist, and we break bread together and wash each other's feet. After the service there is the chance to stay and pray in silence in the side chapel for a few hours, watching with Christ.

Good Friday

At 1.30pm we gather to remember the hours of Christ's suffering and death, and spend some time before the cross in penitence for our sins.

Easter Saturday - Vigil

And yet death does not have the final word! On Saturday at 7pm the atmospheric and mysterious Vigil and Service of Light begins. At first in darkness, then exploding in a joyful noise and blaze of light in imitation of Jesus's bursting from the tomb, we celebrate his victory over death and rising to new life.

Easter Day

At 10am we rejoice in Christ's resurrection and sing alleluias. After the service the celebration continues with fizz and chocolates, and an egg hunt for the children.

The Way of the Cross

A meditation for Holy Week

Music and readings brought to us by the choir.

An opportunity to go with Jesus on his journey to the cross - to pray, to worship, to mourn with him.

6.30pm on Palm Sunday
