Lent and Easter Services 2026
Lenten Discussion Group
Every Sunday at noon for 15 mins
A weekly discussion group during Lent. We will be looking back at and discussing the previous week's daily reflections on the Church of England's theme for Lent 2026: "Draw Near: Life-giving habits for Lent". The daily reflections will be available in printed booklets, available through the Everyday Faith app or by signing up for daily emails. The sessions will last about 15 minutes and will be standalone sessions with no obligation to attend every session. Join us when you're able!

Holy Saturday, 4th April

Tenebrae is the Latin word for "shadows" or "darkness". The service of Tenebrae makes use of light and dark and music to reflect on Jesus' journey to the cross up to the point of his crucifixion. A series of readings from the Gospel are interspersed with reflective music. We will mostly be using Taizé music. There are 10 candles which are lit at the start of the service and one is extinguished after each reading. The service begins at 8pm, which will be dusk. The service will last about an hour so that by the end of the service, as the sunsets and the candles are extinguished, we leave in darkness.
