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.

Free Friday Lunchtime Recital

Our eleventh free concert of 2025

Join us on Friday 21 November for a ‘Potpourri’ Concert.

A Potpourri refers either to a mixture of fragrant plant materials or a musical form that combines melodies from different songs or musical pieces.

This concert, a collection of beautiful music from different places played by Hanna Csermely on the piano and Thomas Siemens on the guitar, can itself be considered to be a musical Potpourri, an invitation to listen to a wide range of music that touches the heart.
