There will, as always, be army cadets as well as their families, and also a number of army veterans.

All are welcome to join this service, which this year will be led by the Archdeacon of Northampton, The Venerable Richard Ormston.

The two-minute silence will be observed at 11.00am.

After the service, the cadets will form up in Church Lane for the march back to the barracks.

While we love our building we recognize that the church community is more than a building and our services, events, and groups all aim to bring people together.

As a registered Inclusive Church we welcome all people regardless of age, race, gender, sexuality, mental or physical abilities, or financial or social status. We fully support the ministry of women as deacons, priests, and bishops.

Services are usually followed by tea, coffee and biscuits in the adjacent Community Room.

We also know that attending a church for the first time can be a little nerve-wracking and daunting too. For this reason we have a community manager whose job it is to answer any of your questions, meet you before service, escort you into the building, introduce you to others and walk you through how we worship here. We want you to feel cared for here and not allow nerves or worries to get in the way of your worship. Just e-mail sarah@holy sepulchre.co.uk and we can start chatting.

Similarly, if you want to attend but getting here is a challenge, e-mail as we might be able to help.

Tuesday services take place in Beckets’ Chapel. Enter by the Pioneer Door on the south side of the building by the door behind the small bank.

Step into a world of mystery, heartbreak, and unforgettable characters.

Follow young Nell and her grandfather on a perilous journey through Victorian England, fleeing danger after their lives are thrown into disarray and destitution, due to the machinations of an evil moneylender.

A timeless tale of resilience, tragedy and the enduring power of hope.

The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens is not often performed on stage and so I set about adapting the novel to suit the performance venue.

There are many of the recurring characters of Dickens’s works: a nasty moneylender, scheming legal clerks, gentlemen, philanthropic gentlemen, eccentric old ladies to name a few.

The story has been compared to Pilgrims Progress, with the journey taken by Nell and her Grandfather broken down into episodes, in each of which Nell learns something of life from the people she meets.

Dickens does not spare your feelings when portraying the cruelties of working (or non-working) class life in the 19th Century, but amidst the suffering the overriding message is of hope for better things to come.

A central element of the story is Grandfather’s addiction to gambling, an issue still just as much a problem in the modern world. In the novel, Nell pays the ultimate price for his weakness. In this adaptation, being performed near to Christmas, I may need to insert a little more hope there!
