On Palm Sunday, just as the crowds did all those centuries ago, we join Christians around the world in marking Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem with a joyful procession and waving palm crosses. You are very welcome to join us as we process from The Chequers to St Helen's Church behind Basil, the Shetland pony!A service of Holy Communion will be held after the procession, lasting for about an hour. If you are joining with the procession, please leave your car in the church car park, not at the Chequers Pub.We look forward to seeing you!
