Holy Week 2020
Holy Week 2020 in the Parish of Teme Valley South We will not be able to gather to celebrate Holy Week across Teme Valley South in our usual way. As you will know our churches are closed for public worship and private prayer at the moment. God calls us to do a new thing. So we are thinking. praying and worshipping differently, and I attach a booklet (below) with resources for the week for you follow and walk together with myself and the other ministers, should you wish to. Holy Week 2020 Prayers and Resources In the coming week there will be updates on Teme Valley South Churches Facebook Page, including videos from Robert. Sally. I plan to live stream Palm Sunday and The Dawn Service on Easter Day. We will also pray according to our current schedule on this link - so join us in spirit or by Zoom.
(if you are not getting sound on any of these videos hover your mouse over the bottom of the screen and you should see the progress bar and at the end a speaker symbol with an X against it - click this and you should switch the sound on)
If you wish to get creative (and not just the kids) make a cross or an Easter Garden one idea is here
