Sunday Service at St Paul's Church at 9:30am
This will be a beautiful and reflective service of passiontide hymns, sung evening prayer, a reflection and then an opportunity for those who want it to receive personal prayers of blessing and anointing for any illness or other issue causing unrest and to speak one to one to a priest for spiritual guidance or to make your confession. There will be a number of clergy there for people to go to. Those who don’t wish to receive these ministries can enjoy singing passiontide hymns while they are happening.
St Paul’s Church Lorrimore Square will open for three hour sessions to entertain young children with a variety of activities to help them learn and grow in a positive environment.

🎈 Join Us Today!🎈
Come and see St Paul’s Stay and Play. We’re open every Monday at 9:00am to 12:00pm.
Join us every Wednesday in the parish office at 10:30am where we meet for Bible Study, prayer and breakfast! It's our midweek oasis between the beginning and the end of the week when we recharge our batteries with a reflection of the week so far, and how God can help us until we come together on Sunday.
We look forward to welcoming you in the family of Christ with breakfast, Bible study and prayer!
At this service we travel with Jesus through the night before his death. The priest washes the feet of volunteers from the congregation to remember how Jesus washed his disciples feet as an example of loving service. We then celebrate the Holy Communion on this night when Jesus first gave that gift to his church.
At the end of Mass, we mark Jesus’ going out to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray, by processing the blessed sacrament to a side altar called the altar of repose. Then the sanctuary is stripped of its ornaments and hangings and the church is plunged into darkness to symbolise Jesus being stripped of his garments and dignity during his betrayal, arrest and trials.
At this point the congregation can depart in silence, or stay a while for the watch.
Here we watch and pray with Christ, as he asked his disciples to do in the garden.
