Following Palm Sunday, this week is Holy Week, leading up to Easter Sunday (17th April).
Compline
On Maundy Thursday (14th), there will be a service of COMPLINE in St Michael’s starting at 9pm; the service will be led by John DeVal. Pre-COVID, there was a tradition of holding such a service in the church during Holy Week. This short 20 minutes or so service provides the opportunity for a quiet period of reflection and prayer, prior to the events of Good Friday and Easter.
Good Friday Walk
The Good Friday Walk (15th) around the Benefice, calls into St Michael’s at 1.20pm for a fifteen minute period of reflection, reading and prayer. Please feel free to join the walkers at that time as they do like to meet people as they visit the various churches in the Benefice. If you would like to take part in the walk (you don’t have to walk the whole distance), then please contact Revd Mandy Flaherty (tel: 01480/896541).
St Michael’s restoration
Delighted to report the restoration work in St Michael’s is complete. Next Tuesday the church will be thoroughly cleaned, and the following day the organ builders pay a visit to tune the organ.
Easter Day Holy Communion
So, St Michael’s should sparkle visually and sonically as we celebrate the completion of the work, and what better occasion could there be than Easter Day (17th). Our service of Holy Communion is at 4pm.
