Calendar of feasts
New Year
April 5, 2026 · March 28, 2027
Lord, the new year is in your hands. Make all that is past become grace, and fill the road ahead with peace. Teach us to lay down our worries and lift up our hope. Amen.
It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Lamentations 3–23
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Psalms 90
New Year
The calendar New Year is not a church feast, but “a new beginning” runs through Scripture: God’s mercies “are new every morning”, and “if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation”. Many traditions keep a watch-night prayer to entrust the old year.
In our chapel you can light a candle of thanksgiving for the year behind you — or write down one thing to let go, and watch it burn.
