During communion the organ music will be "Adagio for Strings" by the American composer Samuel Barber (1910-1981). The composition has been arranged for piano/organ, choir (Agnus Dei) and film music. The postlude is "Processional to Calvary" from the cantata "The Crucifixion" by the English organist/composer Sir John Stainer (1840-1901). See separate notice in Parish Press.

Rest eternal grant unto them O Lord & let light perpetual shine upon them _______________________________________________________________ From the Vicar Fortunately as we will hear in today’s readings, everything went according to plan for Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on the first Palm Sunday. On the other hand, however, we have encountered some turbulence in the approach to Holy Week here in Surrey Hills & Mont Albert. As you will no doubt see, Jenny has broken her arm. Fortunately we believe it is a clean fracture which is already healing, but she won’t be able to drive for a few weeks. Then our Parish Administrator diligently noticed that daylight savings ends early on Easter morning. Could this be because the ‘Light of the World’ has risen from the dead? Our Easter Services flyer and signboard certainly suggest a glow from the empty tomb on that morning. Please remember to adjust your clocks to that you are not too early, though that’s better than being late. If you are early, we will entertain you in any case. Today we have our Palm Sunday services and evening concert at St Peter’s Box Hill at 7.30pm. If you are wondering how to fill in the afternoon, Philip Widmer is conducting a tour of Box Hill cemetery at 2pm on the theme ‘Famous and Unusual’. Please let him know (0403419522) if you are going to join me there. On Holy Monday at 7pm we have a Eucharist in the chapel which Jenny is celebrating, ably assisted by Patricia Fincham. On Holy Tuesday at 7pm we also have Holy Eucharist at 7pm in the chapel. On Holy Wednesday we have our healing service at 10am, this time using a service from the Iona Community. Afterwards we will have the final morning Lenten study that we missed last week. At 7pm, there is a special meditation service at stations spread throughout the church and Parish Centre. Jenny has devised this and I hope you can join us. I will be arranging fish and chips for dinner afterwards ($10). Jenny and I wish you a very holy week and a happy Easter. How could we be anything else but happy as ‘Christ is risen’. Fr Ian ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Notices The cantata "The Crucifixion", a meditation on the Passion, by John Stainer will be performed at 7.30 pm THIS EVENING Palm Sunday by the joint choirs of St Peters Box Hill and Holy Trinity at St Peters Box Hill. The soloists are Barry Fry bass and Richard Thomas tenor, the conductor is Derek Jones and the organist is Lewis Plumridge. Members of the Holy Trinity Parish may find this an opportunity to farewell Rev. Derek Jones who is retiring from full-time parish ministry on the Sunday after Easter. Trinity @home There is no meeting on Maundy Thursday 2 April. Easter Flowers-thank you Thanks for the generous response from parishioners for money towards the Christmas flowers I am able to purchase for Easter without asking for donations at this time. If anyone has long stemmed white, yellow/gold flowers you would like using for Easter please let me know.

On Maundy Thursday we have our special commemoration of the Last Supper at 7pm with five priests concelebrating. This is the beginning of the Triduum, the great three days of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter. On Good Friday at 10am we will have our Solemn Liturgy of the veneration of the cross and Antecommunion, using the sacrament remaining from our Maundy Thursday service. Afterwards we will have hot cross buns. Holy Saturday brings us to the new fire of Easter at 7pm, with the Vigil readings and the first Eucharist of Easter (which technically starts from sunset on Saturday evening). On Easter Day we have services at 8am and 9.30am as usual (less daylight savings time), with a special emphasis on children at our 9.30 service. All the services this year are new (or at least different from last year), so please come and also keep the Orders of Service for reflection. 2 This rite of Holy Eucharist is from A Prayer Book for Australia (APBA), © 1995 The Anglican Church of Australia Trust Corporation, published under the imprint of Broughton Books.
