Palm Sunday – Fredericton Homeless Shelter Support

PALM SUNDAY MISSION: SHARING THE WARMTH OF CHRIST’S LOVE

On Palm Sunday (April 13), the St. James Missions Team invites you to embody this same spirit of generosity by supporting our neighbours served by The Fredericton Homeless Shelters. As we enter the unpredictable spring season, we are collecting new or gently used spring clothing and essentials, including:

    • Ponchos, rain jackets, spring jackets
    • Hats, umbrellas
    • Rubber boots, sneakers, T-shirts, sweatshirts

The Shelters have identified other spring items they need as well.

 

We ask that you wait until the week of April 6-12 or Palm Sunday worship (April 13) to bring your donations to St. James.  We will deliver them to The Fredericton Homeless Shelters during Holy Week.

Palm Sunday Worship at St. James

Hosanna! Hosanna!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the Highest.

Dear friends,

Palm Sunday invites us to step into the story—not just by waving branches or laying down cloaks, but by lifting our voices, welcoming Jesus with open hearts, caring for one another, and choosing to follow him. Even if we do so in spirit, let us stay with him faithfully on the journey through this sacred week.

May the Lord be with our church community on Sunday and in the days ahead. Let us walk the road together, remembering the love of God who gave everything—even his very self—for the salvation of the world.

Join us for worship this Sunday, Palm Sunday, at 11 a.m.—either in person or online. Children and youth are always welcome to take part in J.A.M. (Jesus and Me) during the service.

Stay after worship for coffee, refreshments, and time to connect—we’d love to see you there.

Details about Sunday’s service and this week’s announcements, including information about Holy Week services, are below.

Grace and peace be with you all,

Rev. Wendy
