On Maundy Thursday 29th March, there will be a service of Compline in St Michael’s Church at 8pm.
The following day (Good Friday) the now traditional walk takes place, and details can be found here
On Easter Day (April 1st) there will be a service of Holy Communion in church at 11am, plus some surprises – do I hear the word “eggs” ?!!
On the next page is an itinerary for the day. At each church there will be a very brief service where we will listen to the Good Friday story and at Steeple Gidding there will be an opportunity to receive communion.
Those who have taken part before have made new acquaintances, felt a bond with other people in other villages, challenged themselves physically, joined in fellowship, heard the Good Friday story, marvelled at the wonderful churches and countryside in which we live.
We will stop for lunch at Winwick Village Hall. Please bring a packed lunch.
It has been arranged for us to use the facilities and purchase a delicious cake and a hot drink. Following the walk, tea and biscuits will be available for purchase at Ferrar House, Little Gidding.
Please join in. All are welcome to walk for as little or as much as you like.

This year our procession, on Sunday 25th March, welcomes another donkey called William. We meet in the car park of the “Fox & Hounds” at 11am, and process down the road to St Michael’s Church for a short service. Refreshments will be available after the service, and everyone is very welcome.
Our thanks to Chris & Henry Hill for the loan of William.
