Livestream: Holy Week & Chrism services
We are looking forward to journeying with you through Holy Week in this unique season, and alongside any ways of worshipping that your parish is organising, offer you and your house church a series of live stream services across this sacred week of our Christian year.
This Palm Sunday, worship will come to you again from the Christ Church Whanganui team within the Revs Billy and Caleb Rowe’s bubble, and Bishop Ellie will bring the sermon. From Monday 6th to Wednesday 8th April at 7.30pm each evening, the Revs Stephen King and Jean Malcolm at St Peter’s on Willis in Wellington will lead us in Easter Week liturgies. As we approach the climax of Holy Week, we return to Whanganui on the evening of the 9th for a Maundy Thursday reflection at 7.30pm, and again on Good Friday at 10am we gather in reflection.
Every year we gather together in a service of Chrism in which we re-affirm our baptismal vows together. For many of us this one of the highlights of our liturgical year. We will gather again ‘in’ Whanganui for this Easter Vigil service, and hear again from Bishop Ellie. And on Sunday, we join together again from Whanganui at 10am in resurrection joy, and hear from Bishop Justin. As Holy Week approaches, we encourage you to discuss with your bubble, house church or other worshipping network the ways that you will mark this Easter season in lockdown together. In journeying creatively alongside each other as Christ’s body we will draw nearer to God, grow in faith and unity, and be a witness of hope to our anxious world.
