Palm Sunday (13 April 2025) marks the begining of the last week of the life of Jesus (Holy Week). During this week we share in Christ’s own journey, from the triumphal entry into Jerusalem on a donkey on Palm Sunday to the empty tomb on Easter Day.
Our service on Palm Sunday begins in the Eagle Club at 10am for those able to walk, or in church at 10am.
We remember that crowds of people came out of the city to greet Jesus, throwing down palm branches on the road. We give out small crosses made from palm leaves, and we process with palms to the church.
Here we have a dramatic reading of the Passion Narrative, in which the whole story of the week is anticipated. Everyone is welcome, whether you've ever been to church or not.
For all its hope and expectation, the Palm Sunday story doesn’t deliver in the way the crowds wanted. As one commentator put it ‘it’s a story about what happens when the God we want and think we know doesn’t show up, and another God — a less efficient, less aggressive, far less muscular God — shows up instead, and saves us in ways we didn’t know were possible.’ Do we dare trust this God?
