Church Calendar

Remembrance Sunday, held on the second Sunday of November, is a national day of remembrance for those who have served and sacrificed in armed conflicts, offering churches a unique opportunity to invite people in by providing a space for reflection, remembrance, and community engagement.

Advent is as season of waiting, of anticipation, and for the patient among us the daily opening of an advent calendar door, or burning of an advent candle, builds the excitement towards Christmas Day. As we take time to wait at Advent we can practice our dependence on and trust in God.

Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus, bringing a message of joy, hope, and peace to the world. Churches can engage their local community through festive services, outreach initiatives, and acts of generosity that reflect the spirit of the season.

Lent is a Christian festival that starts on Ash Wednesday lasting for 40 days (not including Sundays) representing the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness. This is a time for Christians to reflect, fast and prepare for celebrating the resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday.

For Christians, Easter is at the heart of what we believe. Jesus’ death and resurrection are the climax of history and the fulfilment of so many of God’s promises in the Bible.

On Easter Sunday we celebrate that Jesus is alive, that he is risen and that life is found in him.
