The Christian year sees a rhythm of Feast and Fast

Christian festivals are times of celebration in worship and joy. We decorate the church for special days and allow music and word to allow us to enter into the meaning of the season. At times we also throw a party!

Important forthcoming dates:

Ascension Day: Thursday 17th May
Ascension Day marks the last earthly appearance of Christ after his resurrection. Christians believe Christ ascended into heaven. It is celebrated 40 days after Easter.

St Bede the Venerable: Friday 25th May

Pentecost - Whitsun: Sunday 27th May
The seventh Sunday after Easter, commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples and the birth of the Christian Church.

Trinity Sunday: Sunday 3rd June
The first Sunday after Pentecost. Christians meditate on the nature of God as "Three in one".
