The service will conclude with the singing of CFA’s best known hymn, ‘There is a green hill far away’. Everyone welcome to attend.
The Holy Communion will be celebrated by the Dean on Easter Day at 8.00 am. Choral Eucharist will follow at 11.00 am, followed by Choral Festival Evensong at 4 o’clock. The Holy Communion will be celebrated on Easter Monday and on Easter Tuesday at 10:30am.
