Thank you to the Rev. Sue Beare who celebrated for me last Sunday when I was sick! I am fully recovered now.This Sunday we will be celebrating Palm Sunday and the Sunday of the Passion. At the 10:30 service we will be having a dramatic reading of Matthew’s version of the Passion. I will preach at the 9am service.
We will have a 9am Book of Common Prayer Holy Communion (said service) and a 10:30am Book of Alternative Service of Holy Eucharist with hymns and music.
Children’s Church. The children will stay in the church for the first part of the service and join in with the congregational procession around the church. The younger children will assist with distributing the palm crosses to the congregation. After the procession (which takes place a little later in the service) the children will head to children’s church.
The 10:30am service will be live streamed on our YouTube Channel.
