Sunday, 24th March
Palm Sunday
The Gospel - Mark 14: 1 – 15 ; 47
The Passion
Lent is ending, Holy Week is beginning. Are you ready for Holy Week? Passion Sunday gives us the opportunity to focus on Christ's love and supreme sacrifice and to make our final preparations for Holy Week.
Try to find some quiet time to prepare before you get caught up in the busy-ness of Easter preparations. Encourage your children to remember Jesus this week by bringing them along to the Holy Week services in our parish.
Prayer
O God,
grant us your forgiveness and mercy
as we celebrate the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
Stations of the Cross - Thursday 28th March
Next Thursday as part of Holy Week, the school will be led through the Stations of the Cross by the Years 5 and 6 students.
The Stations of the Cross is a prayerful walk through the key events of Jesus' death and burial.
Parents and parishioners are welcome to join us at 11:45am on Thursday morning to walk with us around the stations, which will be set up around the Senior School area. The walk will begin at the 'Gates of Jerusalem', at the doors between the Library and the Wellbeing Hub.
