All welcome to our Good Friday liturgy at 1pm - the most solemn day in the Church's year, when we stand at the foot of the cross. With a sung Passion, and music by Walton, Bairstow, and Richard LLoyd's beautiful version of 'Where you there when they crucified my Lord?'

Tonight, we celebrate Jesus' final meal with his friends, before he was betrayed, with washing of feet. All most welcome, with music by Byrd and Tallis ('If ye love me').

Then, tomorrow, our Good Friday liturgy at 1pm.
