Why not make time to come to church sometime over the Easter weekend? There's almost certain to be a service that would suit you. Or journey with us through all the services retelling the story of the last days of Jesus' life on earth.
28th March - Maundy Thursday 7.30pm A quiet Communion service ending with the dramatic Stripping of the Altar as all decoration is taken out of the church in preparation for Good Friday
29th March - Good Friday 10.15am Meet at Springhill Court for a silent March of Witness through the town following the cross, ending with a short service at the bottom of Kirkgate and Hot Cross Buns in the Boys' Sunday School to warm up! Then at 2pm spend 'An Hour at the Cross' in St Mary's - a time to reflect, with hymns and periods of silence, on the events of Good Friday
30th March - Easter Saturday 8pm at St John's Kirkby Wharfe - a Taize service as we begin the long watch for the Day of Resurrection. Candles, reflections & quiet chanted music.

Alleluia, Christ is risen! He is risen indeed. Alleluia!
