Palm Sunday, April 10th, 2022

 Palm Sunday, April 10th, 2022


As we read the Gospel passage from St. Matthew's Gospel on Palm Sunday, it helps to portray for us the drama which was unfolding when Our Blessed Lord was brought before Pilate.   Pilate presented the people with a choice to release Barabbas or Our Blessed Saviour..   "Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would." (St. Matthew 27:15)  Bur the chief priests and the elders were set in their ways.  They urged the people to call for the release of Barabbas so that Our Lord would die.  Pilate gave the people a choice.  And they made their choice.  They chose Barabbas and through that choice condemned Our Lord.  We all have a choice in life, don't we?  We make choices every day whether we realize it or not.  Some choices are small and have little impact such as deciding which pair of socks to put on for the day or which brand of macaroni to buy at the store.  Other choices are big such as where to go to college, whether or not to get married, etc.  But the bottom line is that each of us have choices to make in life.  As Christians, we need to choose God.  We need to make the choice of Godly living.  We need to choose to live Godly lives.  We need to choose to live as God's instruments in this world.  In the Old Testament Book of Joshua we hear:  " . . . . choose you this day whom ye will serve . . . . but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."  (Joshua 24:15)  The world continues to offer us all sorts of choices in life.  We need to choose well.  We need to choose to serve God.  

St. Margaret Church worships every Sunday morning at 10:30 AM at the Chapel at Marquette Manor, which is located at 8140 N. Township Line Road on the Northwest side of Indianapolis.

NOTE:  Keep in mind that we must enter in the main entrance of the lobby and sign in before we go to the chapel.  

Please Join us as we gather together as God's family to:  hear the Word of God; listen as God speaks to each one of us in our hearts; worship God in song and in word; listen to the King James Bible and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer; and, finally, receive Our Blessed Lord in Holy Communion so that we can be nourished for the journey we call life.  Take one hour out of your busy schedule to worship God, to honour God, to acknowledge the need for God in your life.
