Croston Trinity Methodist Church
The Good Friday ‘Pilgrimage’ Service 2026
Rachel Dixon assisted by her husband Mark led a wonderful, contemporary, poignant, interactive service on Good Friday.
The congregation was spellbound as we journeyed together through Holy Week in the transformed church. The guided ‘walk’ was punctuated with four stopping places or stations, providing the opportunity for the congregation to listen, touch, taste and smell as the scripture was shared and songs were sung.
We started at Simon’s house in Bethany where Jesus was anointed with spikenard oil. The lovely smell of the oil in the church reminded us that at Bethany, love was poured out generously, in a most beautiful sincere act.
As we arrived at the ‘upper room’ we washed hands as a reminder of Jesus washing the disciples feet and afterwards we took bread and wine replicating the last supper and denoting the serving love of both events.
Moving to the Mount of Olives and the garden of Gethsemane we received some paper ‘tears’ to symbolise Jesus’ sorrow and obedient love. The paper ‘tears‘ were transformed into paper ‘hearts’ before we reached our final destination.
The congregation placed their individual hearts on the purple cross as we reached Golgotha and reflected on perfect love. We had the opportunity to linger in the presence of God and acquiesce on how much Jesus loves us all.
It was a memorable, unforgettable Christian ‘pilgrimage’ through Holy Week and Rachel navigated us through the whole journey with aplomb.
Finally, Rachel wished us all a Happy Easter and Mark provided toasted hot cross buns as refreshments afterwards.
