PA L M S U N D AY — H A I L I N G T H E K I N G
This was the week that Jesus would be crucified,
and the great Passover festival was about to
begin. Jews came to Jerusalem from all over the
Roman world during this weeklong celebration to
remember the great exodus from slavery in Egypt
to the freedom of being God’s chosen people.
For the first time Jesus did not refuse the honour
shown to Him. It was necessary for him to ride
into Jerusalem to fulfil the Scripture (Zech. 9:9).
The pilgrims were extravagant in their praise, waving palm branches and sacrificing their
clothing to smooth the way before Him.
If only they knew who was among them! If only they would recognise their King of peace.
But they didn't, and they wouldn't. So even as the shouts of praise and adulation were
ringing in Jesus' ears, he wept over Jerusalem. He weeps for people today who do not, or will
not, recognise Him for who He is — Saviour, Lord and coming King.
Jesus accomplished two purposes: (1) He declared Himself to be Israel's King and Messiah;
and (2) He deliberately challenged the religious leaders. This set in motion the official plot
that led to his arrest, trial, and crucifixion. The Jewish leaders had decided not to arrest him
during the feast, but God had determined otherwise. The Lamb of God must die at Passover.
Like those who witnessed Jesus' victory parade into Jerusalem, we have expectations for what
we think God should do to make life better, safer, and more enjoyable. Like the people on the
road to Jerusalem that day, we have much to learn about Jesus' death and resurrection. Holy
Week for us is the celebration and commemoration of these events. We must not let our
personal desires catch us up in the celebration and shouting lest we miss the meaning of true
discipleship. The palm cross symbol you receive today is a reminder that we cannot
understand Christ until we understand his Cross. Use it as a book mark or place it where it
will remind you of this important fact.

PARISH PRAYER: Almighty Father you have called us
together as a community here at the Hervey Bay Parish.
We thank you for all the gifts you have given us: our
lives, our loved ones, all that we have and all that we are.
May your Spirit give us the grace to recognize our gifts
and the faith to use them in service to you. Make us good
stewards of all we have received, generously sharing our
time talent and money to build your kingdom in this
place. Amen.
By statistics, there will be a lot more "Spares" to win in the
near future. The payout so far this year is considerably
higher than the 50-55% of takings that normally the system
averages each year.
There are plenty of numbers not taken perhaps
waiting for you?
See Helen at 7am; Hans & Andrew at 9am and Chris M at 6pm
for YOUR “lucky number".
What’s on at St. John’s
THE 100 CLUB will have its last draw on TODAY due to
lack of numbers. If you are in arrears, could you please see
Helen, Hans or Andrew to enable them to balance the books.
For those who would like to continue to donate, you can put
your $2 towards the food basket or any of our other causes.
Do you have any other suggestions for a fundraiser??
MOTHERS’UNION— Do you have any used
greeting cards (without writing on the back) you
would like to give to the Mothers’ Union? They
will be recycled as Blessing Cards and Roz
Fallon will have a basket at the back of the
church for their collection.
