Palm Sunday, also called Passion Sunday, is the first day of Holy Week and always falls the Sunday before Easter. On Palm Sunday we commemorate and celebrate Jesus Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem. As he rode into the city on a donkey his followers spread palm branches at his feet and called Hosanna in adoration. Palm branches were considered symbols of goodness, victory and triumph. Today in the Christian church we re-enact this joyful day, remember Christ's sacrificial death on the cross and praise God for His gift of salvation.
Jessica will be serving communion so bring bread and juice (or crackers, cookies, wine, water) so you can participate.
Please also bring something to wave in the air during the service as we re-enact the joy of Palm Sunday. It can be a cedar branch, a long-stemmed leaf from a bouquet of flowers or you can make your own palm frond
(see instructions below).

Our Origins
In 1840, the first congregation of St. Andrew’s United Church of Pakenham gathered together in worship. The people in that first congregation, made up of predominantly pioneering families from Ireland and Scotland, had sailed across the Atlantic, then up the St. Lawrence by steamer to Brockville, then by foot to Perth and finally through rough forest trails to their parcels of land in Pakenham. For the 175 years since that first gathering, subsequent generations have continued the tradition of worship with determination, faith, love and a strong sense of community. To this day outreach remains the heart and soul of our faith family.
