You are warmly invited to join in these five weekly sessions for Lent, looking at ways in which we can deepen our prayer life.

What picture do you have in mind of Our Lord Jesus Christ?

These five sessions are based around a pack of images collected by the Church Mission Society, which includes representations of Christ drawn from many different cultures and times. How do they compare to our own ideas about Jesus? What unexpected details do we catch a glimpse of when we look from another person's point of view?

We are all invited into a deeper relationship with Christ and with our sisters and brothers around the world. Everyone is welcome to join this discussion group for Lent.

At the start of Holy Week we remember Christ's entry into Jerusalem.

The service begins at 9.45am in the church hall with the Palm Liturgy, then we process to the church for Mass.

The Chrism (meaning anointing) Eucharist is held every year in Holy Week, when the Bishop invites all the ministers of the Diocese - ordained and lay - to come together to renew their ministerial vows. It is also the occasion when the oils are blessed for use throughout the Diocese in baptism, confirmation, ordination, and the anointing of the sick.

Commemorating the last meal Jesus ate with his friends before his death, at which he instituted the sacrament of Holy Communion.

After the service, you are invited to stay for a simple lunch of soup and a roll.

Maundy Thursday is the day when Christians remember Jesus sharing the Last Supper with his disciples before his death on Good Friday. It gets its name from the Latin word 'mandare', from which we get the word 'command'. Christians remember Jesus's command: "Love one another as I have loved you."

At the Last Supper Jesus washed his disciples' feet - an action which is recreated during this Mass to remind everyone present that we should serve one another with humility.

After all who wish to receive Holy Communion have done so, the remaining consecrated elements are placed in the beautiful Garden of Repose which has been created on the side altar. The sanctuary and high altar are stripped bare, the lights are dimmed, and the vigil begins. This is a time of silent prayer interspersed with Bible readings, remembering Christ's mental agony as he faced his approaching death. Although the vigil continues until midnight, you may leave at any time (please go out in silence).

Organised by Churches Together in Stourbridge. Christians of all denominations walk together in witness to Jesus's death on the cross for our redemption. The procession sets off at 10.00am from the Catholic Church of Our Lady and All Saints (on the Ring Road opposite Aldi) and makes its way via the High Street to the clock tower, where a short service of reflection and prayer is held.

In keeping with the solemnity of Good Friday, it has been the practice of the Church since earliest times not to celebrate Mass on this day. Following readings and prayers at the foot of the cross, Holy Communion is taken from the Sacrament which was previously consecrated and set apart on Maundy Thursday.

This service is a real experience of passing from darkness to light, offering hope to all.

From earliest times Christians have gathered through the night of Easter to recall the story of God’s saving work, from the creation of the world through to the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Easter Vigil marks the end of the emptiness of Holy Saturday, and leads us into the celebration of Christ’s resurrection.

The congregation moves outside for the lighting of the Easter fire, from which the Easter candle is lit. A joyful procession returns into the now brightly lit church; the Exsultet - an ancient hymn of triumph and rejoicing - is sung; the Easter Gospel is proclaimed with joy and splendour; and the First Mass of Easter is celebrated with music, flowers, bells, colours and many shouts of "Alleluia! Christ is risen!"

Jesus Christ is risen today - Alleluia!

In the celebration of the Eucharist we are reunited with our risen Lord through the Sacrament of Holy Communion.

The Lord is risen indeed: Alleluia!
