Holy Week and Easter 2024

 

Easter is the story of God’s greatest gift, and His greatest miracle. 

Jesus Christ the Son of God came to live amongst us, died for us, and rose again that we might find new life and new hope.  Many find Easter to be a very spiritual time, like a journey that we all recognise and know too that we have to make ourselves.  

"God has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." (Colossians 1:13)

We invite you to join us over the Easter season, across the various services. All of our services for Holy Week and Easter are as below.  Many of these services will be live-streamed.

Good Friday 29th March

10:30am Families@4 Good Friday Craft Activity for Children and Families.
This is a very popular gathering for the children, where we shall have plenty of activities for building Easter crafts.  Some of these crafts are made into gift, to be given out in the parish to those in nursing homes, or housebound.

2:00pm Service at the Foot of the Cross.  St Bartholomew's Church, followed by a walk of witness to Haslemere High Street.
Gathering at the foot of the cross is a deeply spiritual and penitent time, where we can gather to both seek forgiveness, and to nail a red ribbon to the cross in recognition.  The cross is then lifted and taken down to Haslemere High Street.  Find out more here.
