A service for Palm Sunday will be held at St Mary's Church Kettlebaston on Sunday 29th March 2026 at 10.15am.
This is an atmospheric service which expresses the moment Jesus rode into Jerusalem which shouts of Hosanna around him. There is usually a short procession around the Church during one of the songs. Come and join in and feel part of the crowd.

During Holy Week there will be a Stations of the Cross or Way of the Cross erected in the grounds of All Souls Church, Chelsworth. This is a 14 step devotion commemorating Jesus Christ's Last day on earth, from condemnation to burial.
The stations are commonly used as a mini pilgrimage as each individual moves from station to station. At each station an individual recalls and meditates on a specific event from Christ's last day then moves on to the next station until all 14 are complete.
This can be a very moving experience for all of faith or no faith.

At 3pm on Sunday 29th March 2026 there will be an Evensong service at St Peter's Church, Monks Eleigh.
This is a very beautiful and reflective service which is partially sung.
Refreshments will be served afterwards.

Maundy Thursday marks the night of the Last Supper as told in the `Bible. Maundy is named after the Latin word 'mandate' meaning command or mandate. It refers to the new commandment Jesus gave his disciples at the Last Supper - "Love one another as I have loved you" immediately after washing their feet. There will be an opportunity to have your feet washed by our Incumbent during this service though this is not obligatory. It can be quite meaningful.
At the end of this service the Altar will be cleared and stripped bare in preparation for the following day which is Good Friday, the day Jesus died on the cross.
This service will take place at St Peters Monks Eleigh at 6pm.

A service for Good Friday will be held at 12 noon at St Peters Church Milden.
This will be a solemn and reflective service as we remember Jesus death and what it means to us.

An early Easter Sunrise Service takes place outside the front of St Peters Church, Monks Eleigh at 7am. A lighted candle, a Taize song sheet and bunches of spring flowers make this service as we celebrate Easter Sunday, the day Jesus was resurrected from the dead.
Flowers are placed on a wire cross in front of the Church and pebbles are prayed on and placed beneath the cross as we remember this momentous day.
Afterwards, a warm cuppa and a bacon bap welcome you inside the Church.
Come and join this early celebration along with early risers and dog walkers. All are welcome.

A service of Holy Communion will be held at All Souls Church Chelsworth at 10.15am to celebrate 'the risen Lord', the day Jesus rose from the dead.

This is a lunch time gathering for the Benefice of Monks Eleigh whereby we meet on the 3rd THURSDAY of each month at The Chapel during the Winter months.
We aim to share our thoughts on passages from the Bible however during January 2024 and into the new year we plan on using extracts from the book by David Watson on the Holy Spirit.
We bring our own lunches but teas and coffees are provided.

You are most welcome to come and join us and learn and share your thoughts with us.
