Palm Sunday Service - please come early
Our Palm Sunday service on Sunday 2nd April will be very special, including a procession with palms for those who wish to join in, and the dramatic Matthew Passion reading in place of a sermon. The Venerable Catherine Dobson, the Archdeacon of Lynn, will join us and preside at the Eucharist. Please arrive early, to be briefed before the service begins. We look forward to seeing you as we begin our Easter week journey together.
