Walking the way of the Cross

From Good Friday through to Easter Monday 2nd – 5th April.

Follow a trail of 15 posters around Studley ending across the river in St Mary’s CofE churchyard.
The artwork and reflections have been prepared by schoolchildren in Warwickshire.

At each poster pause to reflect: scan the QR code on the poster to see readings and questions to help you ponder the Hope of Easter.

Follow the trail as a family, with a friend, or on your own whenever you wish. It is suitable for children and for adults. Please stay 2metres away from anyone in another household. You can complete the whole trail in one go, or
visit different parts of it at different times/different days. When you reach the churchyard you can bring a flower and place it on our Easter Cross.

One year on, former curate of the Arden Marches, Revd Steve Tash has given some short perspectives and thoughts on chaplaincy in the time of pandemic.

Steve is a chaplain with a specialism in mental health, with the University Hospitals of Coventry and Warwickshire and with his colleagues has seen a year like no other.

This video is also available as five shorter segments on our playlist.

We thought you might like to see the lovely gifts – thank you to Caroline Martin for organising and Ann Chance for baking!

This is the link to the Advent Calendar which will help you to hunt for the hidden angels around Studley https://bit.ly/StudleyAngels. Each window will open on the date on the front to reveal a picture and a clue to that day’s hiding place. We ask that each child only collects one angel- please don’t hoard them! Please pass on this link to families with children/grandchildren so that lots of people can join in the fun. When you find an angel, you might like to let us know on our Facebook page: @ardenmarcheschurches.

Why not decorate yours and bring it to the Walk Through Nativity on Chistmas Eve (booking required)?
