People as stones or rocks!? Christ our cornerstone - foundation - but also our rock in times of trouble.

Church of the Good Shepherd
120 Acts of Kindness Tree – Update

Our Kindness Tree is flourishing! We now have 46 leaves on the branches — a generous third of the way towards our goal of 120 acts of kindness. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far!

There’s still plenty of space for the tree to keep growing, and everyone is invited to take part and add one or more leaves. Simply write down an act of kindness — big or small — and place it on the tree in the Church Annexe (or leave it in the leaf basket in the Church porch and we will add it to the tree).

Let’s keep sharing kindness and generosity and watch the tree continue to grow and unfold!

Thank you!

All Age service on Good Friday led by Julie

02/04/2026

Easter is a special time for Christians, a time when we remember the key events in the passion of Jesus, his last meal with his friends (The Last Supper), his trial and death on Good Friday (why is it called that?) and finally Resurrection on Easter Sunday (did anyone see him after he rose from the tomb? - yes around 500 did!).

So we invite you to come and share in this special time with us and find out more, if you wish.
Tonight, Maundy Thursday -Bring and Share Supper at 7pm

Tomorrow, Good Friday - 10am All Age Service
and at 2pm, Last Hour with Bishop Simon. A time of reflection on the meaning of Christ's death, with hymns and readings.

Easter Sunday Morning, 5th April at 10am a service of celebration and Holy Communion.

Do join us if you can. The church is on Quarry Hill Rd, just behind the Four Wents chippie.
