Holy Week and Easter 2026 at St Paul’s

Palm Sunday

Holy Week starts on Palm Sunday with our traditional joint Palm Sunday service with St Barnabas Bethnal Green.

We’ll meet at St Barnabas at 10:30 on Sunday morning, 29 March. The service will begin there, then we will walk down Roman Road in a procession together, to finish the service with communion at St Paul’s.

Wednesday

Wednesday will feature Christian meditation at 7pm and the Wednesday Lent Bible study at 7:30pm looking at the desert fathers and mothers (see the Lent 2026 post for more info).

Maundy Thursday

We will have a Maundy Thursday agape meal at 7pm on Thursday 2 April. We will eat and say liturgy together, remembering the last supper. We will also have communion and ceremonially strip the altar, leaving the church bare for Good Friday.

Good Friday

We’re having 3 events on Good Friday, 3 April, over 3 hours from midday. These will be as follows.

12pm: family arts and crafts for Good Friday
1pm: virtual stations of the cross
2pm: Good Friday communion service

These will be in-person only.

Easter Day

We will be gathering together to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection at 10:30am on Easter Day, 5 April. Please join us for the most joyous day of the Christian year!

We will be having a bring and share Easter feast and Easter egg hunt after the service, at 12:30pm. Join us!
