Our 2019 Easter Journey

From Ash Wednesday (6 March) to Easter Sunday (21 April) we followed the journey of Jesus to Jerusalem, to his crucifixion and to his resurrection.  A journey of challenge, reflection and rejuvenation. 

During Lent we held a course on Tuesday lunch times and Thursday evenings entitled “From Now On” based around the film The Greatest Showman.

Holy Week began with Palm Sunday and included a series of evening reflections, culminating the Maunday Thursday evening service of contemplation on the Last Supper.
