Palm Sunday

Last Sunday was Palm Sunday, the day when Christians remember Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem - with the crowds waving palm branches and throwing their coats onto the road, to provide a first century equivalent of flags and a red carpet. On that day the crowds were welcoming Jesus as Messiah. Of course, by Friday, they would be shouting something else entirely.

Palm Sunday has become a high light in our local church calendar over the last four or five years as hundreds of people from most of the local churches all gather together for a march of witness.

There is plenty of colour and noise as we proclaim the name of Jesus. The march ends in the local shopping centre car park with a time of singing.

We look forward to next year.
