Holy Week & Easter

Holy Week is the most important and dramatic week of the Christian year. Together we journey with Jesus from his entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, his betrayal and death on the cross on Good Friday. Finally, we celebrate Christ’s glorious resurrection from the dead on Easter morning.

Everyone is welcome to these services, when we commemorate the events of Christ’s passion and death in prayer, music and readings.
