services

Throughout the Parish, there is lots going on in the run up to Christmas . Please view our blog at the bottom of the home page for details of the services and where they are being held. 

Sunday 20th April

We shall celebrate Jesus' resurrection and triumph over death on Easter Sunday at 10:30am. This service will be followed by our annual Easter egg hunt around the church and grounds. Do come along and join us to celebrate Easter.

Friday 18th April

We shall hold a service of reflection - 'An hour at the foot of the cross' on Friday at 2pm in St Chad's church. This is a time to reflect on Jesus' suffering and death on the cross.

Sunday 13th April

Sunday 13th April, Palm Sunday, we remember Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, as people laid coats and palm branches as a carpet before him.

This special day reminds us that Jesus is the King of all things. Despite a hero's welcome, the crowd soon turned on Jesus and he was sentenced to death, so today also reminds us of the fickle nature of human authority - and that Christians are called to fight against oppression, injustice and intolerance in our own time.

Join us to celebrate this special day at 10:30am.
