PALM SUNDAY, MARCH 24
8:00 am – Holy Communion (said)
9:30 am - Neighbourhood Street Procession with live donkey
We are expecting significant wind and rain this Sunday which may impact our annual Palm Sunday street procession. In the event we cannot make our usual outdoor procession, we are still inviting neighbouring churches to gather at 9:30 am in the Round Church for the Blessing of the Palms which will include the singing of the various hymns and offering the various prayers we would have made at each church as we processed. All are welcome to come and join with our friends and neighbours and welcome Christ into the city and into our hearts this Holy Week.
