Events
Saturday morning Mens Breakfast. This month the guest speaker will be Nick Howard.
Re-enact the scene of Jesus being welcomed into Jerusalem as everyone is given palm leaves, and children - with their adults if they want - process around the church waving the leaves and joining in the celebration. After 15 minutes all together, children go into a Junior Church Group of similar-aged children - a great opportunity to make new friends and find out more about the Easter story.
It's Passover in Jerusalem, and the city is bursting with pilgrims. It's a tense time for those charged with keeping order - like Pilate the Roman Prefect and Caiaphas the High Priest. The arrival of a preacher from Galilee called Jesus causes great excitement when he enters through the East Gate on a donkey's colt, fulfilling prophecies of the coming of the Messiah. For Jesus's band of disciples, hardened by several years on the road, this is the moment they've been waiting for, but none of them suspects how momentous this week will be.
Episode 1
Caiaphas is growing increasingly anxious that Jesus's preaching will provoke unrest and bring in the Romans, and when Jesus appears to threaten the Temple it's the final straw. As Jesus tries to explain his destiny to the disciples, Caiaphas calls a council and presents it with a stark choice. With Passover approaching, a fateful decision is taken, and Judas finds himself placed in an impossible position.
Episode 2
Monday 17 March, BBC ONE, 20:30 (30 minutes)
Rpt: Easter Sunday 23rd March, 14:15
Make sure that Good Friday is a special day by coming with the whole family for a service that lasts just 35 - 45 minutes: songs old and new, a reading, a short child-related talk and the time and space to think what makes this day so special. Crèche also provided.
This event is Crowborough's own invention and has already become immensely popular. Based on the Christmas Services of Readings and Carols, it tells the Good Friday story through drama, readings, hymns and songs (some for singing together and some sung by the All Saints' excellent Choir and Music Group). Come and enjoy the very special candlelit atmosphere - and stay for some hot cross buns afterwards.
Normal meeting - come & see what food is on offer !!
A quiet traditional service of Holy Communion to start the day when Jesus rose from the dead.

A service with robed Choir, traditional hymns and the Communion Service of the Church of England to worship the Resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday.
All ages will be there from 0 to 100. So bring the whole family to sing, listen and celebrate the fact that Jesus is alive. The whole service is child-friendly, with children coming up - or being carried up - to be blessed, and adults taking Communion if they want. Crèche provided and refreshments afterwards.
Have you ever seen an adult being christened in a pool within a church? It's actually a very moving occasion as everyone gathers round to hear about the person's new faith and rejoice with her. And what better day to do this than Easter Sunday when we celebrate Christ's victory over death? Come to take a full part in this joyful service, or just to be curious and watch. Tea, coffee and cake at the end.

thirsty style!!
