Year 2: Palm Sunday Last Supper Crucifixion
This series is designed to introduce people to the themes of Palm Sunday, the last Supper, as well as Jesus’ eventual crucifixion and resurrection.
It also gives them the opportunity of sharing in bread and wine, without calling it ‘Communion’. (Helpful if you don’t have a clergy person to hand!)
