Lent and Easter at Cambourne Church

Jesus made some big claims about who he was and what he had come to do. He upset a whole lot of people, and ended up being put to death on a cross.

On Good Friday we reflect upon this death, and at Easter we celebrate that Jesus was raised to life again. Death did not defeat him, and he was shown to be right in what he said about himself.

So Easter is the biggest festival of the Christian calendar, because at its heart is the good news that Jesus died and rose again - and in his death and resurrection we have found hope, forgiveness and freedom in a renewed relationship with God.

Why not come and celebrate with us?

Palm Sunday (13th April) is the day when Christians remember how Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey. It is called Palm Sunday because the people were so happy to see Jesus and knew that he was very important, so they took branches from the Palm and Olive Trees that lined the road. They waved them in the air shouting 'Hosanna' (which means 'God Saves' in Hebrew) and put some of them on the road to make it easier for the donkey to walk on the rocky road.

Maundy Thursday (17th April) is the day when we call to mind the last supper at which Jesus washed feet, taught his disciples, and broke bread. We remember his betrayal by Judas, his prayer and arrest in Gethsemane, the plots and schemes of the religious leaders, and the denial by Peter that he even knew his master.

Good Friday (18th April) is when we especially recall the crucifixion, death and burial of Jesus.

Easter Day (20th April) is the day when we celebrate the resurrection – the empty tomb and the encounters between the risen Jesus and his disciples. Death is defeated and Jesus is vindicated.

When & where does the church meet?

Sunday One will be on the first Sunday of the month. It is a 10.00am service for all ages with Communion.

On the other Sundays of the month there will be 9.30am and 11.00am services, as usual, with groups for children and young people at the 11.00am service.
Communion will be celebrated on at least one of these Sundays, as publicised.

Any changes to this will be shared on our Facebook page or shown on the calendar here.

The 9.30 service is more traditional in style with the music mainly consisting of hymns played on a keyboard.
The 11am service is more contemporary in style with the music being lead by a worship team. Most of the songs are more modern than those played at the 9.30 service.

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go. There will be some singing to start with as well as some prayers and a reading from the bible. There will be a talk (some reflections) from one of the leaders of the church, with a chance to discuss it further at the end of the service.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

What is there for children and young people at church?

We have a fantastic programme for the children and young people at the Church. Children and young people stay with their families at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs!) together for the first part of the morning. Someone will announce when the children and young people need to go to their programme. We have young church for those from Yr R - Yr 6 and a youth group for our young people in years 7-13. There is a creche in the church foyer for younger children.

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

Will I have to join in?

You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
