On Good Friday, we remember the day Jesus willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins (1 John 1:10). Easter follows it, the glorious celebration of the day Jesus was raised from the dead, heralding his victory over sin and death and pointing ahead to a future resurrection for all who are united to him by faith (Romans 6:5).
The suffering and death of Jesus, as terrible as it was, marks the dramatic culmination of God’s plan to save his people from their sins.
This is a very moving service, held in the church stripped back of all its finery, where we only receive Holy Communion in one kind - the bread. which was consecrated at the Maundy Thursday Service. This service is not particularly suitable for children so we hold a special workshop for them in the morning at 10.30am
