Marching

Palm Sunday commemorates the time when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and  the people waved palm branches and cheered him as the coming King.

2005 Palm sunday March

Members of St Margarets and Orchard Baptist Churches process along the streets of the parish and then hold a joint family service together. We want to witness that we are still following Jesus as our King and invite people to join us.

The music and songs echo the words shouted on that first Palm Sunday.

"Praise God,
Bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
Hail to the King of Israel!"

Many adults and children watch from their windows and wave as the procession passes.

Palm Crosses are given out at the service to remind us that this event leads up to Easter.
