Through participation in the sequence of Holy Week services, we share in Christ’s own journey.  From the triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the institution of the Eucharist and the agony of Gethsemane on Maundy Thursday, to the cross of Good Friday.  Then the darkness and emptiness of Holy Saturday gives way to the joy and wonder of Christ’s resurrection on Easter Night and the celebration of the empty tomb on Easter Morning.

May we all make the most of this Holy Week, joining in as much as we can as we are again invited to share in the deepest and most fundamental of Christian memories.

All are welcome – faithful, doubtful or just curious

PALM SUNDAY - 29th March

Today we recall the Lord’s entry into Jerusalem, hailed as the longed for King as the crowds shouted ‘Hosannah’.  Then we look ahead just a short time
to when the crowds shouted ‘Crucify’.

10.00      Parish Mass

    The service starts with a Procession and entry into Church and includes        The Passion Gospel according to St Matthew          

We join with our friends from St Philip The Apostle (SE26 6QW) to share in prayer, worship and reflection.
