Holy Week plays a key role in our worship at Christ Church
Holy Week Events 2018
In one week we go to the heart of the Christian faith using liturgy which enables us to reflect on and even enter into, biblical texts using symbolic action, silence and celebration. Some of us will find this more helpful and more enriching than others; we are all different and we all worship slightly differently. But in the variety of events that take place during the week we can all find a place to grow in our faith
Palm Sunday summarises much of what will be entered into more fully in the days that follow . The service begins with celebration and ends in silence.

We hear the story of the last week of Jesus life read from one of the gospels and then share Holy Communion
It is Maundy Thursday which perhaps lies at the heart of Holy Week

After the Last Supper Jesus took his disciples into the Garden of Gethsemane and asked them to watch and pray with him
Good Friday faces us with love.
After a day of silence Easter Sunday

We are invited to open ourselves to the truth that everything changed, that everything can change, and everything will change. Can we welcome change today?

We begin in the Garden of the Resurrection – a memorial garden at the side of the church, where we hear of the women’s visit to the empty tomb. The Easter candle is lit and Baptism promises are renewed
