Holy Week Services
Palm Sunday – 9th April – Croughton
Palm Sunday marks the start of Holy Week. This year we start our Palm Sunday procession at 10am from All Saints School in Croughton, with the blessing of our Palm crosses. We will then process the short distance to All Saints Church, the service will start when the procession arrives. At church, in the context of a Communion Service, we hear again the telling of our Lord Jesus Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, remember his last supper and passion, before spending the next 7 days, of Holy Week in our final preparations for Easter. If the weather is really bad, please meet at Church – 10.00am
Compline Services
The Compline Service is a short service of Night Prayer or Prayers at the End of the Day. It’s the final short said church service of the day . The English word Compline is derived from the Latin completorium, as Compline is the completion of the working day.
Maundy Thursday 13th April
7pm Maundy Communion Meal in Aynho Village Hall
This is the day that Jesus shared his last supper with his disciples and when he was then betrayed and arrested. This year we will remember and re-enact that last meal in an extended Eucharist or Maundy meal. This combines a simple 3 course meal with a Communion or Eucharist following Jesus’ command to “do this in remembrance of him”. There will be no charge for the meal, but for catering numbers I ask that you sign up on the lists in church or email me the.revd.simon@gmail.com or give me a ring 01869 810903 to sign up for this Maundy Thursday Communion Meal.
Good Friday
The day on which Jesus was crucified, not for anything he had done, but for all the wrong we have done. He was innocent and yet paid the price for human sin. It is ‘good’ because through his death Jesus removed the barrier that separates us from having the right relationship with God. His death is remembered in the Cross of Hot Cross Buns and in our services at church.
“An Hour at the Cross” on Good Friday will be led by Rev Terry Richards this year.
Happy Easter
The day of resurrection, the raising of Jesus from death, just as he had promised. Jesus’ resurrection gives everybody who believes in him the hope of life with him, in this world and the next. Come and join the celebration of this Good news.
If there is no Easter hope then what hope do we have?
