Palm Sunday Service

A Service of worship to celebrate Palm Sunday when Jesus arrived in Jerusalem to crowds and cheers. His triumphant entry into Jerusalem has been celebrated on the Sunday before Easter since the first centuries of Christianity.

The crowds waved palm branches and covered his path with them. We remember this with crosses made from palm leaves, blessed and given to each member of the congregation to take with them. Traditionally, these are burned on Ash Wednesday of the following year.

A Service of Holy Communion takes place at our sister church in Westonzoyland on this day at 10.30 am
