What happens on Palm Sunday?
|
The service starts outside the church as our palm crosses are blessed and we hear the reading from the Palm Sunday Gospel, Mark 11:1-11
|
|
At the heart of this special service is the Passion narrative, from the Gospel of Mark 14:1 to 15:47
|
|
The final hymn is the well-known and well-loved All Glory Laud and Honour. This version is by the famous choir of King's College, Cambridge.
|
|
If you can't be with us, we hope that you can enjoy some of the readings and hymns by following the links we are sharing.
