Thurs 2 April
Tenebrae – Service of Shadows
- Undercroft
- 8:00pm
Service of Shadows, is an ancient Christian Holy Week tradition focusing on the Passion of Christ. Characterised by a gradually darkening sanctuary, it features readings and hymns, with candles—including a central “Christ candle”—extinguished to symbolise his betrayal, trial, death and burial. This service will also include a “washing of feet” ritual for those who wish.
Note: this will be streamed on Zoom.

Holy Saturday Meditations
Matthew Y. Emerson says, “We Protestants don’t talk a lot about Holy Saturday, the day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. There are quite a few reasons for this, but chief among them, I think, is that we just don’t know what to do with it.“
We invite you to explore the following musings and meditations:
Easter Sunday
