Welcome to Holy Week

There are several services available at Merrow throughout Holy week.

On Maundy Thursday(28th March), a Tenebrae service will be held at 7pm. The word "Tenebrae" comes from the Latin meaning "darkness" or "shadows". It is an ancient service that makes use of gradually diminishing light by extinguishing candles to symbolize the events from the triumphant Palm Sunday entry through to Jesus' burial. The increasing darkness symbolizes the approaching darkness of Jesus' death and of hopelessness in the world without God. The service concludes in darkness, symbolizing the death of Jesus. The worshippers then leave in silence to ponder the impact of Christ's death and await the coming Resurrection.

The Good Friday Service (29th March) will be held at 2pm. This will be a short service remembering the Crucifixion of our Lord. Hot Cross Buns will be served after the service. The service will be led by Rev. Peter Hills.

Our Easter Day Service (31st March) will be held at 10.30am and will be led by Rev. Peter Hills. This will celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and will include Holy Communion.

A Warm Welcome Coffee Morning runs on Thursday mornings between 10.30am and 11.45am. Please come along and enjoy some coffee, tea and chat if you have a spare moment. You will receive a very warm welcome!
