Good Friday Offering April 7, 2023 is for Christ Church, Jerusalem
From Bp. Frank:
The history of the Good Friday Offering reaches back to 1922 when, in the aftermath of World War I, The Anglican Church sought to create new relationships with and among the Christians of the Middle East. The Good Friday Offering was created from these initial efforts, which focused on a combination of relief work and the improvement of ecumenical and Anglican relations. Read More

Palm Sunday Services April 2, 2023
More about Palm Sunday from the ACNA Book of Common Prayer 2019:
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week. The procession with palms, which was already observed in Jerusalem in the fourth century, calls to mind the triumphal entry of Jesus, our Lord and King, into Jerusalem. The procession is fundamentally an act of worship, witness, and devotion to our Lord.
Palm Sunday is unique in having two Gospel readings. Originally there were two distinct liturgies. The palms were blessed and the Triumphal Entry Gospel was read outside of the church building. The door of the church represented the gate through which Jesus entered the city.
The purpose of Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem was to fulfill his Father’s will; thus it is fitting that this service continues with the reading of the Passion Gospel in which the whole story of the week is anticipated. The emphasis of the liturgy turns to the days that lie ahead in Holy Week. We who hail Jesus as King one moment, may in the next deny him, even joining with the crowd in shouting, “Crucify him!”
