DESCRIPTION:Holy Communion for Palm Sunday: celebrant the Revd Tola Badejo
 . Junior Church takes place at the same time in the hall.\n\nFirst reading
 : Isaiah 43. 16 – 21\nGospel: Luke 23 (complete)\n\nThe Church of Englan
 d lectionary gives alternative readings for Palm Sunday: one set is focuse
 d on the events of Palm Sunday itself\, with Christ's triumphant entry int
 o Jerusalem\, and the other on the Passion narrative\, which otherwise wou
 ld not appear in a Sunday communion service. This year\, we are following 
 the latter\, and the Gospel is Luke's complete account of the Crucifixion 
 and the events leading up to it.\n\nIn this Gospel\, Christ lays himself o
 pen to human experiences we must all hope to avoid: not only a lingering a
 nd agonising death\, but one that comes as a result of false accusation\, 
 biased evidence\, fickle public opinion\, and the brutal actions of a weak
  governor attempting to appear strong. The painting above - the outer pane
 ls of the Isenheim Altarpiece by Matthias Grunewald - was made for the cha
 pel of a monastic hospital\, where it was intended the reassure the afflic
 ted that Christ fully shared their suffering.
