Clergy Thoughts: “For so many of us, Palm Sunday simply marks the beginning of Easter's Holy Week, but it is so important that even 2000 years ago it showed just how the people of Jerusalem saw Jesus entering their city in a triumphal way, yet within just a few days they changed so much.   As WE receive our Blessed Palm Crosses, let it stress our love of Jesus as He was about to suffer SO greatly for all of us and die on the Cross. Let our Crosses be a sign of Love, for ever, of our Lord.:     Reverend David Croucher.

Children's Stations of the Cross will take place at 10.30 am on Good Friday. Parents are welcome to stay.
