Please join us this Palm Sunday, April 13 at 10:30 AM
Yes it is Palm Sunday! Come celebrate with us this Sunday at 10:30 (in person or on-line as you are able).
Rev. Dr. Teresa Burnett-Cole will lead the service. Susan Palmai will welcome us, and Rev. Sue Toller will offer the land acknowledgement. Rev. Sue will also give the Theme Conversation for children and adults. Elizabeth Elton will read the scripture: Luke 19:29-40. Our Minister of Music, James Caswell and the choir will lead us in music and song; Frank Duern will be our soloist singing 'There is a balm in Gilead'.
Welcome to Holy Week, friends. It begins with shouting!
This Holy Week story is life. This story is our lives. Joy. Love. Fear. Grief. Betrayal. Pain. Even the ordinary: eating, drinking, washing. This place, beloved, is where we learn both joy and grief, celebration and pain: in church. During Holy Week. Here, we see our ordinary lives echoed in the life and love of Jesus Christ, the Eternal. We see our imperfect lives reflected in the perfect and saving love of Christ. And in it, may you, too, find some seed of hope.
This story is our story.
Here is the bulletin for the service to follow along with the words of texts, hymns, songs and prayers. You can join the service live at 10:25 am at this YouTube link; after the service ends it will be available to watch as a recording.
