We remember Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem before the shouts of Hosanna turned to 'Crucify Him!'

Sunday Worship at 8:00, 9:15 and 10:45am, with Palm Crosses given out at all three services.

The 10:45 starts outside. Meet on the Village Green at 10:45am to join the joyful procession back to St. Mary’s where the service will continue.

Please note, the clocks will have gone forward by one hour in the early hours of the morning.

A gentle, reflective service including a bible reading, a short sermon, music and intercessions

7:00-8:00pm, Monthly Prayer meeting St Mary’s:

We pray for our world, church and community together.

8:00pm Compline, St Mary's:
A short service of prayer to close the day with the Lord.

Family meal (bring and share):

Gather for a meal at 6:30pm, St Mary’s just as the disciples did on the eve of Jesus' crucifixion.

Bring some food to add to the table and share from what has been brought (please avoid bringing food containing nuts).

Being forgiven: the meal ends with the chance to say sorry to God and receive God's forgiveness. There's the option of foot washing as we remember Jesus washing his disciples’ feet at the Last Supper, teaching us to serve one another. Bring a towel!

7:30pm, St Mary’s: after sharing Holy Communion, our time concludes by reading Psalm 22 aloud together. When the altar has been stripped of adornments, we stop reading, even if mid sentence, to remember the sudden nature of Jesus’ arrest, and we leave quietly into the night.

Walk of Witness 10:30am - starting outside Goudhurst & Kilndown primary school on Beaman Close TN17 1DZ.

United in our faith in Jesus, Christians of all denominations walk as an act of witness around key points in Goudhurst, stopping with the cross to hear bible readings and to pray.
