The Scriptures tell us that there are several reasons to pray. Saint Paul in his Letter to the Ephesians, says “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” Join us online twice a month in order to be able to share this wonderful, uplifting experience with us. Please contact the Chaplain at [email protected] for further details including login.

In the story of Jesus’ life, he had supper with his friends on the night before he died on the cross. At this supper, he told them to share bread and wine to remember him. Ever since, Christians have gathered together in the same way to celebrate the mystery of our faith.

Christians have many names for this celebration – the Eucharist, the Lord’s Supper, the Mass, Holy Communion – but whatever we choose to call it, it remains at the centre of all our worship. The main celebration of the Eucharist at St. Clement's – on a Sunday, at 11.15am – is the high point of our weekly worship, engaging the senses with sound, colour and movement. This service includes choral music, hymn singing and a sermon, and lasts around 90 minutes. Visit www.anglican.cz for more information

Regular weekly Anglican services are held in Brno, the Czech Republic’s second city every Sunday at 5pm, and you can find out more about the beginnings of our ministry in Brno and the first service in this blog post by the then chaplain, Revd. Ricky Yates. The Community is now led by the Reverend Lea and Petra Williams. In Brno we are a young and growing international community committed to creating a caring and hospitable space to share life, grow in faith and serve our city in the name of Jesus. We are also a young and diverse community with people from many nations and social backgrounds – students from Brno’s many universities, Masaryk, Mendel and VUT, international workers, families, and long-term residents too.

So, if you’re an expat looking for a spiritual home away from home, are Anglican or non-Anglican, are returning to church after a while or have questions and want to explore the Christian faith for the first time, you’d be welcome here.

The origins of Evening Prayer date back to Christian and Jewish prayers at the end of the day and the shape of Evening Prayer was first set by the great Reformation Martyr Archbishop Thomas Cranmer in the first Book of Common Prayer (1549), based on the Catholic offices (daily services) of Vespers and Compline. Join us and participate in an intense, timeless act of worship that has entranced Anglicans by its simplicity and uplifting language for over three and a half centuries. We meet every first and third Wednesday of the month at 5pm in the church.

Ash Wednesday is a solemn reminder of human mortality and the need for reconciliation with God and marks the beginning of the penitential Lenten season. Come and join us at 7.30pm on Ash Wednesday for this special service.

Holy Week is a sacred and blessed time for Christians around the globe. The week leading up to Easter Sunday is one that helps Christians focus on the cross in heart and spirit by recounting the final days of Jesus’ life and earthly ministry. Within this week leading to Easter Sunday, many recognize what is called Maundy Thursday. Maundy Thursday is celebrated the Thursday before Easter in remembrance of the Last Supper, when Jesus introduced communion and washed the disciples’ feet. For Jesus to wash the feet of his disciples demonstrated an incredible amount of love, humility, and servanthood. Sometime later, following this act, Jesus established what is now referred to as communion, or the eucharist. The final days and hours Jesus spent with his disciples were sacred and filled with significant teachings. Maundy Thursday is set aside to remember these commands Jesus gave at the Last Supper.

For all Christians, Good Friday is an important day of the year because it celebrates what we believe to be the most momentous 48 hours in the history of the world. Ever since Jesus died and was raised, Christians have proclaimed the cross and resurrection of Jesus to be the decisive turning point for all creation. Paul considered it “of first importance” that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and was raised to life on the third day, following what God had promised in the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3).

"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance; that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). 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). Join us for this devotional service to mark this day.
