‘I am the Resurrection and the Life’

This Sunday is the 5th Sunday of Lent – Passion Sunday. In the Gospel reading, we hear the story of the raising of Lazarus and Jesus reveals himself to be the resurrection and the life. As we enter Passiontide, let us put our trust in the Lord of Life.

Lent Lecture 2026: ‘Clocking Longitude’
This Sunday at 12pm historian Lester Hillman will share the captivating story of John Harrison who revolutionised how we measure time. This year marks the 250th anniversary of Harrison’s solution to the ‘longitude problem’ by making a portable clock for use at sea. Entry to this entertaining lecture is free to all.

Veiling in Passiontide
From Sunday until Holy Saturday 4th April, we are in Passiontide. To mark this sombre season, the images of Jesus and the saints in church will be veiled in purple, a traditional custom symbolising the hidden divinity of Christ as he approaches his time of suffering.
