Palm Sunday celebrates the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem as King, but it also marks the beginning of the journey that leads to the cross.

Since earliest times, the Gospel accounts relating both these events have been read on Palm Sunday, as a reminder that the crowd which shouted ‘Hosanna’ on Sunday is, by Friday, shouting ‘Crucify’. Today’s service, then, invites us to reflect that there may be, in all of us, this ambivalence between loving Christ and rejecting him.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life."

The choir will be leading a Musical Reflection in Words and Music at 6:30pm on Palm Sunday in Wadhurst Church.
