This year, we will be holding Palm Sunday as a Service of the Word in St Mary’s Buckland. For those of you who prefer to join us online, the link will come out on Saturday as usual.

As part of the service, everyone will be invited to make a palm cross. If you are at home and wish to do this, you can cut an inch wide strip from a piece of A3 paper, or a centimetre wide strip from an A4 sheet – though that will be quite fiddly! Maybe cutting two, and sellotaping them together!

If you live in the villages of the benefice, you may wish to come and pick up a palm frond from the porch of Buckland church – I will ensure some are there from tomorrow (Friday) morning.
