Holy Week & Easter
'Let us go with him in faith and love, so that, united with him in his sufferings, we may share his risen life'
We warmly welcome you to worship with us in Holy Week, the heart of the Christian year and the Christian life. There are many opportunities for worship and prayer this week to help us all enter into the mystery of the Lord's death and Resurrection and to journey with him to newness of life.
We maintain physical distancing during our services, which means that the church may be at capacity for some of our most popular services: you are advised to arrive early.
All services are at St John's Timberhill unless otherwise noted.
