Call to Pray on this Palm Sunday at 3pm.

Date/Time
5 Apr 2020
All Day

The simple call behind this initiative is to get as many people as possible across the island of Ireland to pray together, at the same time, during this time of great need. The call has gone out for us to do this together from 3pm to 4pm on Palm Sunday, the 5th of April. We do not want to be too prescriptive or to overly complicate things. The most important thing is that you commit to pray at this time. Please do not feel guilty if you cannot manage the full hour. We would like to encourage everyone who is able to kneel down in an act of humility during the last 10 minutes. We want the heart and climax of this prayer time to be when we all kneel, in our homes, at 3.50pm. Just as Jesus humbled himself on the first Palm Sunday, riding on an infant donkey, we want our act of worship to be one where we bow down and lift His name up. If you are not familiar with praying, you are very welcome to join us! In fact, we would love you to join us. We sense that many people are turning to Jesus at this time of fear and confusion. We encourage you to call out to him today. We fully believe in a God who hears your prayers.

Also, on Palm Sunday, given that people will be at home, we are being asked to hang palm outside our homes as a gesture of Christian solidarity to mark the beginning of the most holiest of weeks.
