The people of Andreas gather around the War Memorial to honour those in the armed forces who lost their lives defending the freedom of this country, and others in the world. The one minute's silence is held outside, wreaths are laid, and poppies placed on the war graves, before the people gsther in the church to hear the names of the deceased - with many details gathered by Mr John Crellin, of their ages, where they lived, and where they served. The service continues inside. Coffee and tea are served afterwards.

Palm Sunday – the last Sunday of Lent – is when we recall the final week leading up to Jesus Christ’s crucifixion, still with his faithful disciples alongside him as the pressure intensifies.What was Jesus saying and doing? What was he pointing to about God's purposes and about each of us? Indeed, why did Jesus Christ accept a path to violent death?https://youtu.be/e25N-OkauY8You will find~ Welcome from our Rector, Rev Iaen Skidmore~ Prayers are offered by parish member Howard Bishop~ Insights from Elaine Aulton, Sylvia Shimmin and Shirley WatlingBibleThe dramatised Bible reading is by Rob Lacey from his version The Essential Street Bible.PoemThe Artist's Finest Work, read by Sylvia Shimmin, from the collection The Song of the Sparrow by Alison Leishman (formerly Steadman) when she was with the Leprosy Mission.She is now married to Bill Leishman, pastor of Broadway Baptist Church.Music♫ Ride on ride on in majesty by M.
