Sunday Service: Palm Sunday

Journey With Us Through Holy Week As the season of Lent draws to a close, we invite you and yours to join us for a profound and moving Holy Week. Together, we will walk alongside Christ, moving from the triumphant shouts of “Hosanna,” through the solemn shadows of the cross, and ultimately into the radiant joy of the empty tomb. Whether you have been a part of our community for years or are looking for a place to worship for the very first time, there is a place for you here. Palm Sunday (9:30am): The Other Parade and the Temple We begin our Holy Week journey by commemorating Jesus’ triumphant entrance into Jerusalem. After a long and transformative journey from Galilee, Jesus is met with waving palm branches, colorful cloaks, and joyful crowds. Join us as we echo their praises and prepare our own hearts for the week ahead, setting the stage for the pivotal days to come. We will enter the text with the help of our “readers theater” and songs.

 
Join is in person or online every Sunday at 9:30am
