Dear friends,

Tomorrow is Palm Sunday, when we look at Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem on the back of a borrowed donkey, leading to what is called Holy Week, the last few days of Jesus’ life before the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday, on to Good Friday and Easter Day, the greatest Christian celebration of His rising from the dead, breaking the power and fear of death for all who put their trust in Him.

We have both live and online services tomorrow – details are:

28th March, Palm Sunday 

Farleigh end:

9.45 Dummer open air Morning Prayer for Palm Sunday 

11.15 Ellisfield Morning Praise for Palm Sunday

Palm crosses are available to collect at St. Leonard’s Cliddesden from 10.00 a.m. on Sunday morning – first come first served.

Candover Valley end:
