Good Friday Church Crawl

Good Friday (30th March) is one of the most important dates in the Christian calendar, as Christians take time out to focus on the death of our Lord Jesus Christ. This year, we will be exploring different Christian traditions by visiting different local churches and we hope many local people will join us to discover the variety of ways we can remember and celebrate the death of our Lord and Saviour. We are also hugely excited to walk between the different churches as a witness and sign of unity, giving out daffodils, chocolates and leaflets about Easter as we go, wearing our yellow sashes made by local people as we go as a sign that we carry with us a message of hope and life.

Feel free to join us at any of the venues below. There is something for everyone and even if you are busy, please try to take some time out of the usual busyness to stop and focus on our Lord during that day.

Admission to all events is free, but donations at St Helen’s would be appreciated to help cover the cost of putting on this theatre production by the company 4FrontTheatre.
