Maundy Thursday Tenebrae Service

for 1 hour
St Andrew's Church
Cappell Lane Stanstead Abbots, SG12 8BU, United Kingdom
During a Tenebrae Service, candles are gradually extinguished to recreate the emotional aspects of the passion story. Worshipers leave in silence and near darkness to ponder the impact of Christ's death and await the celebration of the coming Resurrection.

St John the Baptist

Welcome to St John the Baptist, Great Amwell’s Parish Church.

St John the Baptist is part of the Great Amwell with St Margarets and Stanstead Abbots Benefice. Our 3 Churches Benefice covers three villages with four churches, so we are blessed to be able to provide a variety of services. St John the Baptist, beautifully set above the New River, enjoys a more formal style of worship.

For more information about our Benefice, including our full Safeguarding Policy, please visit our website www.3churches.net
