Palm Sunday Morning

for 1 hour, 15 mins
Witham: St Nic's
Chipping Hill Witham Chelmsford, CM8 2JS, United Kingdom

Today we begin Holy Week. We remember Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem riding on a donkey: the crowds that went wild with joy. Jesus entering the Temple and driving out the money changers, challenging the whole Temple's approach to God's holiness.

We gather on Chipping Hill Green and hear the story of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. We then process around the church singing a hymn. We come into church to celebrate Holy Communion. Instead of a sermon there is a simple drama recalling the events of Holy week.

The colour of our liturgical vestments are red.

Witham: St Nic's

The PCC has adopted the Church of England’s policies and best practice on safeguarding which may be found on the Church of England’s website: https://www.churchofengland.org/more/safeguarding
