Holy Week and Easter
Holy Week at St Saviour’s
We have a week of online events planned for Holy Week, in the days leading up to Easter. These evenings were going to be held in the church, but will now be led over Zoom from people’s homes. We’ll be posting the Zoom links for these services and events in the next few days.

Wednesday 8 April: Worship from our rooms
8-9pm: Members of our worship team share songs and music from their rooms, and talk about what it means to them.
Maundy Thursday: Junior Church
