*******************************
Palm Sunday: Which we will celebrate next Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, the most hallowed time of our Christian year. It is the week leading up to Easter Sunday during which we will honour the acts of Jesus in the days before His crucifixion. Holy Week is also known as Passion Week or as the Great Week in Greek. Attached to this news sheet is a list of all that is happening between Palm Sunday and Easter Day. Try if you can to take in at least some of the events of Holy Week either with us in Church on by yourself at home. If you don’t, you could end up enjoying the celebration of Palm Sunday and the resurrection on Easter Sunday but miss the passion of the cross in the middle. It is critical that we go forth into Holy Week remembering all that our Lord endured and why He allowed it. Let’s not be sucked into the treadmill of familiarity this Easter, but recommit ourselves to Jesus our Lord and Saviour as we journey with him to the cross and beyond.
Please, Lord, guide my mind with your truth.
Strengthen my life by the example of Jesus.
Help me to be with Jesus in these coming holy days
as he demonstrates again his total love for me.
He died so that I would no longer
be separated from you.
Help me to feel how close you are
and to live in union with you. Amen.
Please remember in your prayers: Tony Ryan, Louise Clark, Rev Martin Keighley, Mark Price, Craig Abson, Peter Holden, Alan Morris, Dean, Rev Jane Everett, Paul Sumner, Chloe and Chris Shuttleworth.
Please also remember the families and friends of, Georgina Johnstone, Bob Cameron, Harry Snasdell, Poul Terpet, Margaret Barlow, Lillian Kelly and Ronald Shewan whose funerals are due to take place.
