A major interactive exhibition will recreate important locations in the life of Jesus. Jerusalem, Galilee, wilderness and shore will show the backdrop to God at Work – past, present, future. The exhibition will showcase the places where key events in the life of Jesus happened including Cana where he performed his first miracle; the Judean desert where he fought a spiritual battle against evil; the first Easter in Jerusalem – and many more. By recreating these scenarios the people of St Andrew’s hope to help people to visualise what the life of Christ might have been like and to make the stories of the New Testament more alive and vivid. Alongside the locations there will also be displays of flowers linked to the stories of Jesus’ life highlighted by the exhibition. Visitors will be able to follow a story-trail and a timeline of Jesus’ life, and see how the concerns Jesus had for the people he met continue to inspire Christians today. The exhibition will be open to pre-booked schools on weekday mornings and to the general public from 1.00pm. Over the weekend of 24th-25th it will be open to all from 10.00am on Saturday, and Sunday from 11:00am with special events during the evenings – details of these below.

Thy Kingdom Come…..is a global and ecumenical call to prayer where we are invited to spend time individually and as churches praying for our communities and our world. It takes place between Ascension Day (May 25th) and Pentecost (June 4th). During these ten days there will be special prayer stations with extra prayer resources in each of our churches. At the end of the ten days, as well as the morning services in our churches here, there will be a special service in Exeter Cathedral at 6.30 on the evening of Pentecost Sunday, where the stories and resources from each parish will be gathered together and celebrated. Everyone is most welcome to attend that service.
