Palm Sunday

     We celebrated Palm Sunday this week with folded palms being given to parishioners during Sunday morning service.

Palm Sunday Prayer

     Christ Jesus, we commend ourselves to your care this day.  Inspire in us the trust that nothing in life or death can separate us from you.  Amen.

----------------------------

     Lay Reader Jan Cox told us the story, and showed us photos, of a miniature donkey she once owned and about the legend of the cross which marks its' back.  When Jesus came in to the city of Jerusalem he rode in on the back of a small donkey.  In thanks, he blessed the donkey by making the sign of the cross across its' back.  To this day these donkeys still bear the cross on their back.

The Palms are here!

Hi Friends,

     The palms are here. I am happy to make all the crosses for Palm Sunday - but I don't want to deprive others of the fun and pleasure of it if they want to make crosses.

     I am suggesting a get together on Wed March 20 at 10:30 am in St. Peter's Hall for palm cross making.  And I thought I might have palms available for cross making on Friday at Games Night too. I could give a lesson on making the crosses in church this Sunday and also supply palms and instructions to anyone who wants to try making a few at home. 

     The St. Luke's Sunday School will make some crosses this Sunday. I will reserve some palms for church decorating as well. We have a smaller bunch of palms this year than last year. Please spread the word to those who don't have email. Thanks!
