Our 10am service this week for Palm Sunday is cafe church at Barrow Gurney. Cafe Church is an interactive and informal service of music, prayers and creativity for all ages, lasting approx. 45 minutes. We begin with refreshments in the Court Chapel (inside the church) before we set out on a journey to Jerusalem with Jesus the King, meeting some of his friends along the way, including Solomon the pony (playing the part of a donkey!). This weekend’s Bible readings are: Mark 11 vv1-10 and Mark 14 v12 to 15 v39.
If you’re not able to get to church this weekend, you can join the 10.00am service from Long Ashton live via YouTube. A recording will also be available ‘on demand’ afterwards so you can catch up whenever is convenient.
This weekend begins the most important week of the Church’s year as we recall and enter into the last days of Jesus’ earthly life, his death and resurrection. There are many and varied ways to worship through this week, many of them suitable for children: please do read through the flyer below and join in our pilgrimage towards the dawning light of Easter Day.
New window for Flax Bourton Church
If you’re passing through Flax Bourton, do pop into St Michael’s and have a look at the brand new stained glass window which has just been installed: a celebration of life, faith and community, welcoming all visitors and worshippers from its position opposite the main door, above the font. Thank you to all those whose vision and generosity gave birth to this new addition to our church.
Also, Earth Day @ Flax Bourton
Come along to Flax Bourton church on Saturday 20th April between 10am – 4pm to mark Earth Day with an Eco-Fair featuring cafe, local produce for sale, eco activities and art exhibition. As part of the celebrations, there’s a chance for you to enter a 2 or 3D representation of a favourite tree in our community art exhibition. It could be a painting, photograph, model or poem 0 the choice is yours! – and there will be a small prize for everyone who takes part. Please submit entries to Adrienne Hughes by Sun 14th April.
All are welcome at any of the above celebrations. You don’t need to be an expert pray-er or pillar of faith to join in; maybe you just want to be present and soak up the atmosphere while others do the talking. Wherever you’re coming from, and whatever you bring, you’ll be welcome.
