Blessing of the Palms and Procession

for 15 mins
Village Green
Village Green, Stane Street Westhampnett

We remember how, before his arrest, Jesus rode in triumph into Jerusalem on a donkey, with the crowds waving palms and shouting ‘Hosanna’.
We will start our service on the village green at Westhampnett where we will bless our palm crosses.
We will then process to St Peter’s Church for the Parish Eucharist.
Children are invited to come dressed as Disciples and take part in the procession.

St Peter's, Westhampnett

St Peter's is a beautiful medieval church in the village of Westhampnett to the east of Chichester.

The church is open daily for private prayer.

Both the church and its surrounding churchyard provide a tranquil spot for prayer and reflection.


Message from the Vicar

We are delighted to be able to keep St Peter's open. If you have a moment, do go in. There is a Prayer Requests Book on the table by the font - if you have a prayer request please write it in the book and we will offer it at our weekly services. There is also the opportunity to light a candle.

Do come and join us.

Every blessing

Rachel

The Revd Rachel Hawes
