Prayer for Spiritual Communion
Come Lord Jesus, dwell in me and send your Holy Spirit that I may be filled with your presence.
Jesus, as the hem of your garment, touched in faith, healed the woman who could not touch your body, so may the soul of your servant be healed, for though
I cannot receive you in the sacrament I can, through this offering of my prayer, receive you in my heart; grant this for Christ's sake. Amen
You are welcome this and every Sunday…
Reverend Mark, Reverend Sharon and members of the lay team, lead services in all three of our churches and we also live stream the 10am service from Earls Colne via Facebook. See our Services page for our full schedule for this month and our Events page for details of social events.

Readings for Palm Sunday - Sunday, 13 April 2025
Old Testament Reading
Psalm 118 Verses 19-25
1 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; •
his mercy endures for ever.
2 Let Israel now proclaim, •
‘His mercy endures for ever.’
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness, •
that I may enter and give thanks to the Lord.
20 This is the gate of the Lord; •
the righteous shall enter through it.
21 I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me •
and have become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders rejected •
has become the chief cornerstone.
23 This is the Lord’s doing, •
and it is marvellous in our eyes.
24 This is the day that the Lord has made; •
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Come, O Lord, and save us we pray. •
Come, Lord, send us now prosperity.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; •
we bless you from the house of the Lord.
27 The Lord is God; he has given us light; •
link the pilgrims with cords
right to the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God and I will thank you; •
you are my God and I will exalt you.
29 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; •
his mercy endures for ever.
Gospel Reading
From the Gospel of Luke Chapter 19 verses 28-40
Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem
28 After he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 When he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,
30 saying, ‘Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
31 If anyone asks you, “Why are you untying it?” just say this: “The Lord needs it.” ’
32 So those who were sent departed and found it as he had told them.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, ‘Why are you untying the colt?’
34 They said, ‘The Lord needs it.’
35 Then they brought it to Jesus; and after throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it.
36 As he rode along, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road.
37 As he was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen,
38 saying, ‘Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!’
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, ‘Teacher, order your disciples to stop.’
40 He answered, ‘I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.’
