10:15 am Holy Communion (with distribution of palms, hymns, choir, organ, and trumpet) - The double title of Palm Sunday in the Book of Common Prayer, “The Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday,” well describes the liturgy of the day. The Liturgy of the Palms, with its triumphal procession, modulates into a penitential Eucharist dominated by the solemn proclamation of the passion gospel. The liturgy begins on the Front Circle, where the people may gather and set out in procession into the church, carrying the palm branches in celebration of Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
