Good Friday 2nd April 7:00 pm Tenebrae Service on Zoom and in the Church
Tenebrae is the Latin word for darkness. The service practised in most Christian churches dates back to the ninth century. This single service, usually on Good Friday, literally takes people into the darkness through a series of scripture readings, music with the use of candles which are extinguished throughout the service. Whilst a very traditional service, it is given a Unitarian twist with music and readings from the Christian traditions. The service will last no longer than 40 minutes and people will leave in silence to ponder the significance of Christ’s death and await the celebration of the resurrection.
Sue Cockerill will be leading this service.
Zoom link to follow.

Easter Sunday 4th April 10.30 – 11:30 am Sunday Gathering on Zoom and in the Church
Join us for our weekly worship service. This is an Easter Sunday service, led by Laura Dobson. All welcome.
“May we remember the eternal truth spun into the web of life: our wounds can become sacred incarnational teaching of the wisdom embedded in the story of resurrection.” Samuel A Trumbore
Laura will be leading the service from the church.
Although some of our worship leaders will be leading services on Zoom from home, there are 14 places available in the church for anyone who would like to come and watch/listen to the service there.
