Throughout Lent we are offering Compline (Night Prayer). The ancient office of Compline derives its name from a Latin word meaning ‘completion’ (completorium). It is above all a service of quietness and reflection before rest at the end of the day. The service is simple and may include hymns, music or readings for reflection.
A place of support, advice, activities and refreshment to people living with dementia and their carers. A welcoming place for others that enjoy the friendship of others.

Maundy Thursday is a solemn Christian feast during Holy Week that commemorates the Washing of the Feet (Maundy) and Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles, as described in the canonical gospels.

After the Eucharist the church remains open in vigil until midnight. You may come and go during that time.
A considered, prayerful and reflective service around the cross, partaking of the sacrament from Maundy Thursday,.
