Every Wednesday at 12 noon you are very welcome to join us at St Wilfrid's Church, Church Road, for our Said Eucharist service.

Please ask before the service begins if you would like a gluten-free Communion wafer.

This candle-lit Holy Week service falls on the Third Wednesday of the month, when, at the same time, we normally have our quiet, candle-lit ecumenical monthly Taize service.

Members of other churches who would otherwise be attending our Taize service are just as welcome to join us on this special occasion in the wider Church's most special week of the year for all denominations.

We warmly welcome visitors from all our local churches to our ecumenical candle-lit Taize service of prayers, silences and the singing of simple Taize Community chants. This half-hour worship is held every Third Wednesday of the month at 8pm in St Wilfrid's Church.

Please note: on Wednesday 16 April 2025 (during Holy Week) instead of our usual Taize service we shall be holding a candle-lit Tenebrae service at 8pm to which members of other churches are also invited. (Our usual ecumenical Taize services will resume on Wednesday 21 May at 8pm.)

On the eve of Good Friday we remember the Last Supper and we re-enact Jesus washing his disciples' feet before a celebration of the Eucharist which he established at that meal.

Afterwards there are complimentary refreshments served in the Church at about 6.45pm: do stay to join us to enjoy those.

ALSO, after the refreshments, from January 2024 at 7pm we present free concerts of about an hour, at which donations are invited for our St Wilfrid's Choral Scholarships for emerging local singers aged 12 to 18. This pays for their travel expenses to sing in the St Wilfrid's Choir in school term time and for tuition.
