We invite you to join us for worship on Palm Sunday/The Sunday of the Passion. Oftentimes, to grasp the fullness of something significant, we have to look at both sides. So it is that to approach the meaning of Christ, we have to say two things: Jesus and Christ; human and divine; death and resurrection; bread and body. This weekend celebrates these two sides: we begin by praising Christ with the song of the angels, and we go on to shout “Crucify him!” Come to join us as we fit both truths into one service.
We will begin worship in the Gathering Space with a Palm Procession
To grasp something fully, we need to look at both sides. This coming Sunday is both Palm Sunday and the Sunday of the Passion. We join in the joy of the palm procession, and we gather in sorrow at the foot of the cross. Come to sing both “Hosanna!” and “Lord, have mercy upon us.”
We will gather at the Lord's table to celebrate the sacrament of Holy Communion.
We will livestream this service, and it will remain online so that you can worship at the time you prefer.
We look forward to worshiping with you.
