This celebration commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, mentioned in each of the four Gospels. Jesus entered the city knowing He would be tried and crucified and welcomed His fate to rise from the grave and save us from sin! Palm Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, the remembrance of Jesus' last days.
we celebrate it with the blessing and sharing of palm branches symbolizing the branches placed in front of Christ as he entered Jerusalem.
We meet in Holmewood Gardens at 10.50am for the Gospel Reading and the blessing of the palms, then we process along Cotherstone Road into the church for the beginning of the service at 11.00am. The church remains open throughout this time for those unable to make the walk and palm crosses will be made available for those people too.
