You will notice that we are only reading the Gospel for the liturgy of the Palms on Sunday. We will hear the rest of the story throughout Holy Week.

Join us for a short Eucharistic service on Wednesdays at 10am with coffee after.

Join us for this sung evening prayer service on Wednesday evenings in Lent. 

Don't forget to bring in your branches of cedar, fern or something local to process into the church with!

There will be some changes in our Holy Week services this year.

On Maundy Thursday, the simple supper and the liturgy will all be one and will happen in the hall including an invitation to have your feet washed.

After dinner we will move into the sanctuary for the stripping of the altar.

Good Friday will tell the story of Jesus' last days and his death through the Stations of the Cross. We won't actually walk the stations but they will be offered through images on our screens, prayers and reflections.

Holy Saturday will be familiar, beginning with the fire and first light outside, procession into the church, the Exultet will be sung, we will ring bells and celebrate the risen Christ.

Easter Sunday will be a service for everyone. Two babies will be baptised, the children will help with the liturgy, and we will have treats and an Easter Egg hunt following the liturgy.
