Journey to Jerusalem

Journey to Jerusalem – Peak Methodist Church at Bakewell

Mon to Sat 10am to 4pm, from 6th to 21st April at Bakewell Methodist Church, Haddon Road, Bakewell, DE45 1EL

Make the Journey to Jerusalem and explore the Easter story with our creative display and interactive prayer stations. Also includes a display of crosses from around the world, & LEGO models depicting the Easter story.

The Journey to Jerusalem display takes us through the last days of Jesus' life: "From Hosanna to He is Risen".

We see the excitement of the crowds on Palm Sunday and the agony in the garden and on the cross and the joy of the resurrection leading to the truth of the post resurrection experiences that Jesus is alive.

The journey also gives us time for reflection and the opportunity to pray interactively through themes such as justice, peace love, thanksgiving, healing, families and forgiveness. The display is full of life and colour and hopes to bring the story of our Saviour's final days to our hearts and minds.

 The journey continues too in our worship services. On Maundy Thursday at 7pm we share in the Tenebrae service – which focuses on the events leading up to the cross and recognises the Light of Christ in the world and his great love for every person. Tenebrae means 'shadows', and in worship we will see the calling and falling away of the disciples. We will experience Jesus's servanthood and share in bread and wine, the Last Supper. Then we are asked to watch and pray with him in the Garden of Gethsemane.

 The journey continues on Good Friday morning at 10:45am as we gather around the cross to see those who gathered there over 2,000 years ago and to hear their own experiences in those moments. We too will be "Close to the cross of Jesus".

Please join us on the journey and in the joy of the Resurrection morning on Easter Sunday at 10:30am.
