Good Friday April 9th 2020
....a typical Good Friday for at least the last twenty years amongst the Churches in Thornhill would start with a morning with Kids from our churches meeting at Thornhill Methodist Church to make Crafts and hear the Easter Story - in word , play and music. This was followed by a short service when we were joined by Adults after which we processed to The Cross and erected a large Wooden Cross. Everyone was given a Palm Cros and asked to pray for the person whose name was on it. .. well not this year no Methodist Church and Lockdown.
There would be short services at Whitley in the Morning and Meditation Service at Thornhill in the afternoon
Virtual Service for Good Friday
On Easter Day you might like to Look at the service at 1030 so that we can be together Spiritually as well as through the prepared Service.

Thank You Elaine-------
For the jews today is Passover. For many years on this day we held a Christian Passover evening which involved a Jewish Passover Meal and Holy Communion.Very soon it will be the time for Ramadan for our Muslim Friends. So this is a Holy Time for many people. We have always traditionally held a similar event with a meal and Communion. Well we cannot have either today because of the Pandemic. A little reminder below.
This is a quite appropriate song recorded virtually - it is our Rector's favourite too.
