No Mass this morning - instead, we have a simple service of Morning Prayer, with the appropriate psalms and readings for Easter Eve/Holy Saturday. The service is followed by the enjoyable task of preparing the Church for Easter, and all volunteers will be very welcome!

A short, said service, usually held in the Lady Chapel (the one in the picture - with a number of furnishings and fittings by Sir Ninian Comper, no less). The Cell of Our Lady of Walsingham meets each month, and dates of Cell Masses are usually published on the weekly pew-sheet.

The lighting of the New Fire, and the Blessing of the Paschal Candle, are followed by the Vigil Readings as a prelude to the joyful First Mass of Easter Day!

Our day's worship begins with said Morning Prayer, usually from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer.

Our main act of worship each week, when we gather to hear God's Word proclaimed, and to receive Holy Communion. We use the modern-language form of service, with a modicum of traditional Catholic ceremonial to foster a sense of the mystery of the Mass. We usually sing a mixture of traditional and more modern hymns, together with a simple congregational Mass setting, led by our cantor(s) and volunteer organist/pianist.

Children and young people are encouraged to stay for the whole service, as it is not possible to have a separate Sunday School at present. For young families, there is a 'safe space' especially for them, with room to move around.

The Ministry of Christian Healing is available by arrangement with Father Garry, as is the Sacrament of Reconciliation (aka Confession).

Come and celebrate Easter with us at this morning's Mass! The service will include the Blessing of the Easter Garden, and there will be chocolate available after Mass (in the form of Blessed mini-Eggs...😋😋), along with other refreshments, stalls, and the Easter Raffle!

A service of Evening Prayer, usually concluding with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. (Holy Communion from the Reserved Sacrament is available, if you've missed Mass earlier in the day - please speak to whoever is leading the service).

An opportunity to share in a quiet mid-morning service, held in one or other of the various chapels within the church.

A short late-afternoon service in one of our various chapels.

A Mass for the early-birds (!).

This important meeting (to be held in Church immediately after the Parish Mass) is for the election of churchwardens and PCC/Deanery Synod members, accepting the accounts, reviewing the past year, and looking ahead to the future. All those on the Electoral Roll, and other members of the worshipping congregation, are urged to attend this meeting (which usually lasts only an hour!) if at all possible.

We have a special Mass this morning to mark the beginning of the annual parish pilgrimage to Walsingham, but EVERYONE is welcome. There is NO 530pm Mass today!

This important Festival is celebrated today with two services - at 10am, and at 730pm. Each lasts about 30 minutes (and there may be hymns...!)

Today's Mass celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit - about 50 days after Easter - and this day is often regarded as the birthday of the Christian Church.

This united service is a 'Thy Kingdom Come' event, when we pray, not only for our own immediate or parish needs, but for the world at large. *Thy Kingdom Come* is a world-wide prayer activity, taking place this year between 29th May - 8th June (Ascension Day to Pentecost).
