Today, we enter into Holy Week with palm branches, a reflective sermon, and communion at the altar. Our procession starts at Holy Ascension Church and we process to St Alkelda's Church at Giggleswick. The procession reminds us of Jesus’ entry into the Jerusalem where everyone shouted “Hosanna” – the same voices who later cried “Crucify”.

On Maundy Thursday we remember the washing of the disciples feet by Our Lord and we keep watch as Good Friday draws near. Join us as we begin our journey into the depths of the Passiontide Mystery, the mystery of Christ's death and resurrection.

A Drama in four parts, starting at 10.30 am at St John’s Methodist Church. Part 4, The Crucifixion takes place at Holy Ascension Church. Drinks and hot cross buns are available in church and supplied and served by members of Mothers' Union

GOOD FRIDAY - For centuries, Christian pilgrims to Jerusalem have retraced the Via Dolorosa, the route along which Jesus carried his cross to his death. As they did so, they would stop at certain points or “stations” to recall and meditate on events surrounding the crucifixion. In the Middle Ages churches developed the practice of using painted or sculpted Stations of the Cross to create a symbolic journey for worshippers who were unable to make the pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
This custom is continued here each year as part of our worship during Holy Week.

On the first Easter day, Jesus’ disciples found his tomb was empty, then met and ate with the risen Jesus. Our celebrations continue with the principle service celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The service includes readings, Holy Communion, the singing of Easter hymns, and a sermon.
