The Sunday of the Passion…Palm Sunday, is upon us. This liturgy begins with shouts of joy outside on the Close in remembrance of the crowds in Jerusalem and their brief recognition of the Messiah.
Following the reading of the Passion Gospel, we enter upon Holy Week and the recollection of the injustice of our Lord’s execution and his saving solidarity with humankind.
Some will wish to assist the Altar Guild on Saturday at 10am as they prepare Palm Crosses for Sunday (information below). A donkey will join us for our hike around Parish grounds at the 10am Liturgy.
Lenten Grace and Restoration,
GFW+
