We mark the beginning of Holy Week by recounting the story of Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem with a procession around the church. Our service includes a dramatised reading of the Passion Narrative.

Maundy Thursday marks the beginning of the Easter Triduum, the Great Three Days which commemorate the events of the Last Supper, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection.

The Liturgy for this evening recalls Jesus’ washing of his disciples’ feet, his institution of the Eucharist and his withdrawal to the Garden of Gethsemane for a time of prayer before his arrest and trial.

The Watch of the Passion will take place immediately after the Eucharist. At the beginning and end of the Watch we hear sections of Mark’s account of the final night of Jesus’ life, which culminates with St Peter’s third and final denial of Jesus during his trial. You are invited to stay for the Watch which ends at 21.30.

You are invited to spend an hour at the cross on Good Friday at St James'.

All are welcome to come and join in the Easter fun - search for eggs, have a go at the chocolate tombola, eat cake, drink tea/ coffee and find out something about the Great Easter Story.

All are welcome to join us for a joyful celebration on Easter morning. There will be singing, prayer, breaking bread together - there may even be some chocolate!
