Palm Sunday Following last Sunday’s planning meeting for Palm Sunday (5th April) it was decided that the two 10oclock congregations at St Barnabas will join together outside at 10am to re-enact Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem with Palm branches and maybe a donkey. This will take approx 15minutes and then the services will continue in the Church and Hall. Following the services we will join together in the Hall for morning tea; please bring a plate of food to join in this celebration.
If you have or know where we can get Phoenix Palm Branches we would be grateful.
