Journey through Holy Week
Click here to find resources for use between Palm Sunday and Easter Day. They are designed with individual use in mind, to complement the worship at Home Sheets offered for Palm Sunday and Easter Day. (See above.) However, you can use them in the knowledge that others will be offering their worship in this way too.

In an attempt to protect people from the coronavirus we have asked people not to travel to churches to pre-record or live-stream worship. You can of course live stream from your home. We hope the four options below will offer some breadth from our tradition.
We are working in collaboration with: Wesley’s Chapel London who will live-stream from the chapel (the Minister lives on the premises)
