Palm Sunday Outdoor Service

for 1 hour
North Stainley: St Mary the Virgin
A6108 North Stainley Ripon, HG4 3HT, United Kingdom

On Palm Sunday, April 2nd, at 10.45am we will be having a short outdoor service in the churchyard (weather permitting). As we did in 2021, we will retell the story of Palm Sunday – so please bring branches of greenery to wave, toy donkeys etc. Palm Crosses will be distributed. For those who wish, we will then go back into the church for the remainder of the service, including Communion.

There is also an interactive trail around the churchyard – this is particularly designed for children but adults may find it helpful too as we think about Easter!

The children at JAM club will be making an Easter garden to have in church - come and see it!
