Easter at The Good Shepherd

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.

Join Us for Ash Wednesday at The Good Shepherd

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.
