“Maundy” comes from the Latin for “commandment” (like “mandate”). At the Last Supper (on the night before his crucifixion on Good Friday) Jesus told his followers to love each other, and seek to serve rather than to rule. He demonstrated this by washing his followers’ feet. We will not wash feet at this service, but we will do the other thing that Jesus did at the Last Supper by taking and sharing bread and wine as his body and blood as a reminder of him. Please join us for this solemn celebration.

Join us to pray about the events of Good Friday and what it means for us today.
Apr 7 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
The Choir of St John’s, with other local singers, will perform The Crucifixion, by John Stainer, on Good Friday, 7 April, at 7 pm.
Leaving collection for the Choir Fund.
Soloists: Edward Hughes (tenor), Christopher Jacklin (bass)
Philip Rees (organ), John Barnard (conductor)
Singers welcome for the choir (rehearsal, 4.30 pm on the day): details here or from Simon Patrick, 020 8427 7993.
It would be very helpful if those planning to join us for the choir would let Simon know, with the part (soprano/alto/tenor/bass) that they will be singing. Last year we were particularly short of tenors and basses; if you know any who can sing in harmony and either know the piece or could learn it during the rehearsal, please encourage them to sign up!
Those attending in the congregation at 7 pm will be invited to join in the hymns but do not need to attend the rehearsal.

All are welcome to our Festival Service, this year being held at St John’s, Greenhill, Harrow, featuring the choirs of many of the churches in the Harrow Deanery. This year the service takes the theme of Jesus as the Light of the World, with music, readings, a sermon and prayers.
