From Father Iain, All Saints Chiang Mai

This Sunday is Palm Sunday!
(My church email is not working! Please use iainbaxter.mail@gmail.com to contact me!)
Dear Friends,
This week we celebrate Palm Sunday when Jesus rode in triumph into Jerusalem.
Our parade this year will be a little smaller as the children from the Youth Charity Foundation are away so they won’t be waving palms with us. However, as everyone loves a winner we’ll look at the popularity of fame and success! But, is that the Christian way?
Pastor Mark will be leading our parade and worship this Sunday!
The scripture readings this week will be Matthew 21:1-11, Philippians 2:5-11, and Mark 14:1-9, and we will be singing the hymns Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the Highest; All Glory, Laud and Honour; Hosanna, Loud Hosanna; Above All; and Ride On! Ride On in Majesty!
