During Lent we will look at paintings telling the Easter story, with space for Bible commentary and discussion. If you would like to join please contact Katrina by email: [email protected] (The image pictured is part of a larger painting of Mary wiping Jesus' feet with her hair, which is one of the paitings that features in this short course.)

In the first session we'll start at 7pm to watch the film 'The Way' together. Then in the following sessions, we’ll be discussing the film “The Way,” in which a group of people walk the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. As they journey, they are changed and this course examines different aspects of “Salvation”. It poses the questions: What are we saved from? What are we saved for? Please contact Katrina: [email protected] if you would like to attend.

Join us on Palm Sunday for Holy Communion, with hymns, Bible readings, prayers and a short talk.

During the first three days of Holy Week, we have Sacred Space taking place at Christ Chuch Henton. This is a great opportunity for people to focus on the amazing events that took place at the first Easter, and God's awesome love for us! The church will be open for people to drop in anytime between 7-8pm to enjoy being in a sacred space. You are welcome to sit and think, light candles, reflect and pray. There will also be a short service at 7:45pm of prayers and readings. Everyone is welcome, and you can leave at any time up to 8pm.

A fun morning for children and families to take part in a range of activities related to Easter. Craft activities include: making Easter cards with wax resist, and creating an Easter Garden (a miniature landscape for the events of Easter). Follow a trail, collecting items about Easter, and we’ll hear the Easter Story. We know that it can be hard to tell the Easter story in an appropriate way for children, so this event is a wonderful way to involve them in the wonder of Easter. Drinks and biscuits will be provided and there’s no need to book. We look forward to seeing you!

We join together to celebrate the Last Supper with a meal that we share on Maundy Thursday. Join us for this special occasion. There is no charge for the meal, but donations are welcome to cover church costs. Please email [email protected] to let us know that you would like to attend, or RSVP on our website www.chwchurches.co.uk

Tenebrae is a chance to focus on the loss felt by Jesus' followers caused by his betrayal by Judas, his death on the cross and his burial in a tomb. This service reflects on the different shadows cast by these events, and this is symbolised by 13 candles. One by one each of these candles are extinguished leaving the church in darkness. This service reminds us that Jesus' suffered these shadows so that we might be restored to God and have eternal life.

This is a thoughtful hour to focus on the stations of the cross (steps of Jesus' journey to the cross). Each event will be represented with a work of art, and accompanied with Bible verses and a prayer. Well known hymns set the tone. This time symbolises us keeping Jesus company like his family, friends and followers did at the foot of the cross.

Join us as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus! We will share Holy Communion and celebrate this special day! There's craft activities for children, and there will be Easter eggs to hunt for, which we'll share together.
