The Passion Play by LAMPS

Join us for a special performance brought to us by the LAMPS Collective!

The life, death and resurrection of Jesus are recreated in this moving, memorable and ultimately joyful retelling of the Easter story.

Told from the perspectives of Peter, Mary Magdalene and a Roman centurion named Marcus, this powerful contemporary drama leads us up to and through the events of Holy Week, to the cross and beyond.

Doors open at 7:00pm and the performance will start at 7:30pm.

This is a ticketed event and you can buy your tickets via Eventbrite: The Passion by LAMPS Tickets, Thu 17 Apr 2025 at 19:30 | Eventbrite

Midweek Easter Service

All welcome.

WBC on Thursday, 3 April, from 10:00am-12:30pm

This is a unique opportunity to learn more about the 380 million persecuted Christians worldwide, the work of Open Doors, and our exclusive ONE Church programme. This initiative connects church leadership teams and congregations with the persecuted church through online gatherings, opportunities to travel and meet believers, and regular inspiring stories and prayer points.

You will also have the privilege of meeting Abraham* and Eti in-person. Eti recently addressed 103 MPs in Parliament at the launch of our World Watch List in January. Abraham and Eti, a husband-and-wife team, have faithfully served as local partners in Bangladesh and beyond, supporting persecuted Muslim Background Believers. They will be sharing their personal experiences of persecution and the stories of others, followed by a time of Q&A, prayer, and worship.

(*Name changed for security reasons.)

Please register your place HERE to attend. Refreshments will be provided on arrival.

If you’re unable to join us in-person, we will also be livestreaming this event, so you can join online and hear from Abraham and Eti on Thursday 3rd April from 11am-12pm.
