Come along to our congregational, parish Eucharist with hymns and readings, the sharing of bread and wine along with a short sermon.
Junior Church will join us part way through the service so we can worship together and families can take communion or have a blessing. There will be a play area in St Cedd’s Chapel in the Cathedral for the under 3s.
The Eucharist is at the heart of Christian worship. It is celebrated by Christians around the world as a memorial of the death and resurrection of Jesus, in response to his words at the final meal he shared with his disciples, ‘Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the Eucharist, God invites us to his table as a foretaste of the heavenly banquet which he has prepared for people of all nations and cultures. Outwardly, the Eucharist takes the form of a shared meal of bread and wine, recalling the fact that, at the Last Supper, Jesus associated the breaking of bread and sharing of wine with his own imminent death, giving them special significance.
