Dear church family,

This week we celebrate Palm/Passion Sunday. Sadly, we are not able to process into church with our palm branches waving. But, wherever you are, you can still mark Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem by waving a branch or a dandelion to help you remember that Jesus walks with us.

Our Walk from Syria is going well – we are almost there (or here)! At the last Health Cabinet meeting people were sharing their travelling stories and the consensus was that these stories should be shared. We will gather your travelling stories for the May newsletter: what activities are you doing, who’s travelling with you, how have the weekly stories, reflections and prayers on the website touched you?

Below is a lot of information on how to access worship during Holy Week. Please keep in mind that zoom and livestream happen at a specific time. YouTube videos can be played at any time.

God bless and keep you safe,

Pastor Marilyn
