Easter at The Good Shepherd. This Holy Week, our church family walk together through the story at the heart of our faith, from the quiet humility of the upper room to the joy of resurrection morning…
Maundy Thursday — 2 April
We began with a shared fish supper, a simple meal that set the tone for an evening of reflection and fellowship. Our Maundy Thursday service includes the traditional washing of feet and a moving time of communion, reminding us of Jesus’ call to love one another in practical, humble ways. Join us to eat at 5pm with the service starting at 7pm.
Good Friday — 3 April
On Good Friday afternoon, we will gather for An Hour Before the Cross. Through readings, silence, and prayer, we reflect on Jesus’ sacrifice and the depth of God’s love. It will be a quiet, meaningful time for everyone who comes. Join us at 2pm.
Easter Day — 5 April
Easter Sunday brings a joyful celebration as we come together for our 11am Communion service. With families, friends, and visitors, we will rejoyce in the good news of the resurrection, hope renewed, life restored, and light breaking into the world.
Easter reminds us that even in the darkest moments, God is at work bringing new life. As a church, we continue to hold onto that hope, for our community, our city, and our world. Whether you’ve been part of The Good Shepherd for years or you’re exploring faith for the first time, you are welcome here.
Looking Ahead
We’d love to see you at one of our regular Sunday services or at any of our upcoming events. There’s always space for you to worship, to ask questions, to find friendship, and to grow in faith.
Are you looking for a little space in your week, a chance to slow down, be creative, and connect with God and others? Then our Friday Flock Art Group might be just what you need.
What do we do at Friday Flock?
Each week, we enjoy simple art and craft projects in a relaxed, supportive environment. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to have a go and enjoy the process. Alongside the creativity, there’s also the opportunity for prayer if you would like, making this a time not only for making but also for reflection and encouragement.
When do we meet?
We meet at The Good Shepherd on Friday mornings from 10.30 am to 12.30 pm, and everyone is welcome. Come along to Friday Flock Art Group, bring a friend, and discover how creativity and community can refresh your spirit.
The latest COHL Newsletter is now live! The February edition is full of encouragement, updates, and opportunities to grow together this Lent.
In this edition, Ruth Hassall invites us to step into a slower, more honest rhythm as we journey “Into the Desert,” drawing on the wisdom of the Desert Mothers and Fathers. You’ll also find news about the developing Youth & Children’s Hub, details for our upcoming Annual Meetings, and information about our next Supper & Speaker gathering.
It’s a great way to stay connected with what’s happening across Christ Our Hope Liverpool.
This Lent we invite you to join us for a five week journey shaped by the wisdom of the Desert Mothers and Fathers. Our course begins on Wednesday 25 February at 7pm and is open to anyone who would like to explore prayer, and spiritual renewal in a deeper way.
We will be using material from Lectio 365 and 24 7 Prayer, drawing on the lives of early Christian men and women who sought God in the quiet of the wilderness. Their stories and practices continue to offer gentle guidance for following Jesus with honesty and courage in the midst of everyday life.
Each session will include space for reflection, conversation and prayer. Whether you are familiar with Lent or exploring it for the first time, you are welcome to come and learn with us.
We would love you to join us as we step into this season together.
As we begin the journey toward Easter, we invite you to join us for our Ash Wednesday service on Tuesday 18 February at 7pm. This quiet and reflective service marks the start of Lent, a season of prayer, hope and renewal.
During the service there will be an opportunity to receive ashes, a simple and meaningful reminder of God’s grace at work in our lives. Whether you come every week or have not been for a while, you are welcome to share this moment with us.
We would love to see you there as we step into Lent together.
