Though we normally have two Sunday morning worship services, for Palm Sunday we will join together at 10:00am for one service to celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into the city of Jerusalem. This service re-enacts the day when Jesus rode into Jerusalem in triumph and was given the equivalent of a tickertape parade. People cut leafy branches from palm trees and waved them in celebration, so we begin with a palm-waving outdoor processional. (Please note that the circle drive at the high school will be closed at 10am and open after the processional, so plan to arrive early) The service also includes a dramatic reading of the story of Jesus’ passion—his arrest, torture, and execution.
