Holy Communion for Palm Sunday

for 1 hour, 15 mins
St. Nicholas
Church Street Radstock Bath, BA3 3QG, United Kingdom

Palm Sunday is a special day for many Christians. It marks the start of something called Holy Week and it always falls on the Sunday before Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
It also marks the last week of Lent, which is a time when lots of people give up something they love for 40 days.
Palm Sunday celebrates Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem just days before his death. The Bible, which is the book Christians read, says Jesus rode into the city on a donkey. People waved palm leaves and cheered him.
One of the most common traditions is for worshippers to be given small crosses made from palm leaves. This serves as an important reminder of Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem and his death soon after.

Please come on in and browse our site to find out what we're about, and what we can offer in our town.

You can find out about our regular church services and our 'specials' such as Easter, Christmas, Harvest Festival and so on. Find out how we can help you with life's happy events such as marriages and baptisms, and the not so happy ones such as Funerals.

We also aim to serve the community. Our Community Cafe, hosted by SWALLOW, is open from Monday through Friday 9am to 3pm. We also host the Somer Valley Foodbank on Wednesdays from 12 midday to 2pm. In term times, our Sunbeams' tiddlers and toddlers group meet from 9 until 11am.

We offer a unique service to the Deaf community. Not only do we have a hearing aid loop, but we also have signers who are able to interpret throughout the Services (at BSL Stage 2). Please ask if you require this service.

You can find out a bit about who we are behind the scenes, and if you are really desperate for something to read, we can even show you our data protection policy!

Mindful of our Safeguarding responsibilities, please check out our Safeguarding page, with details of what to do and who to contact should you have a concern.
