On this day we remember the triumphal journey that Jesus took into Jerusalem knowing that he would be tried and executed. The Bible tells us that crowds came to see Jesus enter the city and they were carrying palm branches which they threw down in front of him as a sign of respect.

We would normally be given a palm cross to carry in a procession into church. We take the palm cross home to help us remember Jesus' journey towards His crucifixion.

The last occasion when Jesus spent time with his disciples was at the Last Supper when they all shared a meal and where Jesus talked about His betrayal and final days. He also humbled himself by washing the feet of his disciples.

At this service we take time to reflect on the meal upon which our Eucharist (communion) service is founded. After the service we remain in solemn silence as the church is stripped of its dressings and ornaments in readiness for Good Friday.

Join us for a poignant service reflecting on the darkness that covered the land at Jesus' death, and times of darkness in our own lives.

This evening service focuses on the events following the crucifixion of Jesus when He lay in His tomb.

The service will mostly be taken in near darkness until towards the end when a "light" is brought from a bonfire into the service to light a new Paschal (Easter) Candle. This marks the beginning of Jesus' resurrection which we continue to celebrate on Easter Day.
