Palm Sunday

Our Palm Sunday service reflects the complex spirits of that day so long ago: energy, anticipation, fear and chaos, as Jesus entered Jerusalem. This was an All Ages service; the children worshipped with families; there was action, prayer and meditation for all.

A short introduction with the children, a rousing "Hosanna" anthem from the choir
and the Parade of Palms began.
The parade over, Rev. Brenda began the Reflection with a story of her own experience.
Others read in the voices of those there on that day in Jeruselam and their words spoke of where we sometimes find ourselves in our attempts to follow Jesus.

After every speaker came the response
"Even if we keep silent...the very stones will cry out."

Red is the colour of Palm Sunday, the colour of the blood and of martrydom.
For a more complete look at the worship life at Dunbar, go to these pages: Children in worship, All Ages services. Worship at Dunbar Heights is inspirational and challenging preaching, spirited singing, a welcome and stories for the youngest children, and questions for inquiring youth, all in a traditional sanctuary.

You are welcome to come dressed comfortably in jeans and runners or more formal attire. Come as you like; our worship is welcoming and joyful.

Service begins at 10:00 am in the sanctuary. Children remain with their parents until theme time, then go to classes with creative, dedicated teachers trained in the story-telling style of Godly Play. Sermons and Scripture follow the Revised Common Lectionary or themes chosen by the minister; the Sacrament of Holy Communion is practiced monthly; All Ages services are scheduled throughout the year; Baptism of infants and adults is offered as requested.
