Good Friday - Walk of the Cross
Good Friday is a poignant day in the Christian calendar; a day where we pause to remember the journey and the sacrifice Jesus made for us all on the cross.
To mark this special day the churches across our Benefice are walking to and meeting at St. James for a service of reflection at 1.00pm.
The walk from Christ Church will leave the Church at 9:30. We will be taking with us nails and a hammer. We will walk across the Hill through Broadmoor. Return transport will be available after the service, but to help us plan we would be grateful if you would let Sally know if you would like a lift back.
St. Mary’s and St. Johns are walking with two parts of the cross and when we meet at St. James the cross will be nailed together.
Refreshments will be served at St. James from 12 for the walkers.
We would love for you to join with us in this moving journey. 

The 2024 Fete

Is God nudging you to explore your gifts and talents?
Have you ever been curious about how you can better serve God in your life?
Do you want to study God with a bit more depth and be challenged?
There is a wealth of opportunity to explore these questions and more through various training available locally.
You can dip your toes into a module on the Local Ministry course – looking at diverse subjects such as Ethics, Worship and Spirituality, Christine Doctrine and Theological Reflection.
There are training days on Pastoral Visiting, Occasional Preaching and leading Worship.
If you feel called/nudged or just want to find a little more, I would love to talk with you!
