The service includes readings summarising our salvation history read by candlelight and the blessing of the Paschal or Easter Candle, symbolising Christ risen from the dead.

The church also hosts throughout the year music concerts organised by Saxon Shore Early Music Kenardington (SSEMK - Saxon Shore Early Music Kenardington).
