Experience in heart and mind the world-changing drama of Crucifixion and Resurrection in the traditional pattern of one service with two long breaks:
7.30pm Maundy Thursday (17th April) gather to recall the Last Supper, with foot washing and the arrest of Jesus – we strip the church of decorations and leave it in darkness as we scatter…
Noon on Good Friday (18th April) meet at Minstead Gardens Methodist Church for the ecumenical walk of witness: carry the Cross through Roehampton, arriving at Holy Trinity about 1.45pm for the Liturgy of Good Friday, with dramatized recitation of the Crucifixion story in the sombre bleakness of the unlit church…
5.30am Easter (20th April) gather at dawn outside the North Door for the Easter Liturgy to light the new fire and bring the Light of Christ into the Church: hope outlives despair, life triumphs over death, rejoice and sing! Breakfast to follow!
The Bishop of Southwark will officiate on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday
