St Augustine's Dumbarton

29/03/2026

On this Palm Sunday, blustery winds and rainy weather led us to adjust our plans. We began the service inside the Sanctuary with the blessing of our palm crosses, handwoven in the Masasi region of Tanzania. Together, we sang "Hosannas" and acclaimed Christ, remembering his entry into Jerusalem as Lord and King. Our thoughts turned to our brothers and sisters in the Middle East, who were unable to hold their traditional Procession of Palms—not because of the weather, but because of war. After listening to the Passion Narrative, we shared in Holy Communion, seeking the strength to follow Christ in the days ahead. We invite you to join us on this journey throughout these holy days.

I'm thrilled to announce that the installation of our new sustainable heating panels at St Augustine’s is now complete! By focusing on heating the congregation rather than the high ceilings, we are significantly reducing energy consumption and our carbon emissions.
​A massive thank you to the installation team and everyone whose support made this vision a reality. We invite you to come and experience this "sustainable warmth" for yourself. A warm Easter awaits!

As we continue our Lenten journey, we are sharing our programme for Holy Week early so you can plan to join us. From the Palms of Sunday and the quiet reflection of "The Upper Room," to the joy of Easter morning, there is a place for everyone at St Augustine’s.
