Palm Sunday
Dear Friends,
As we made our way through Lent it was all leading to Palm Sunday which we celebrate today and the triumphant journey into Jerusalem of Jesus. It is amazing that only on Thursday of this past week we had the Feast of the Annunciation that Mary was chosen by God to give birth to Jesus. It shows us in a small way how hard it is to make some sense of Jesus life in this time frame of celebrating it every year. This is very well summed up by the following quote from J. R.R Tolkien (1892-1973). “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us”. That says to me, the present is what’s important, the past is gone, the future is unknown. Let us live life well.
Gift Aid Envelopes Those parishioners who support the Church with donations by Gift Aid envelope will find their new boxes of Gift Aid envelopes on the porch table as you face the car park. Thank you.
KSC Easter Holy Week Posters These are available in the porch this Sunday for you to take home and display in your window to remind people what the coming week is all about: Christ’s sacrifice.
