Good Friday Meditations at St Mary's
The Good Friday Meditations will take place in church.
On our journey together through this great drama of grace on Good Friday we bear witness as Jesus wrestles with his own aloneness, abandoned by so many of his closest friends, abandoned even by God His Father. Through words and music, and at this time more than ever, in silence and separation, we reflect on the events of this day and on their meanings for those around Jesus and for ourselves today of all days.
Children and Families’ Service
Our Good Friday interactive, all age service takes us through the story of Good Friday.
With activities and hot cross buns for all.
