Palm Sunday Processional - April 2nd
Sunday, April 2nd is Palm Sunday and we celebrate the tradition of our children leading us into worship with the procession of palms as we remember Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem that begins Holy Week. The parade of palms will begin worship at both the 8:40 and 10:45 services, and so we invite all the children of the church to lead the procession into worship, waving palm branches as they travel down the center aisle and place
their palm branches at the Communion Table.
Meet in the narthex, just behind the sanctuary, about 5 minutes before the start of worship at 8:40 and 10:45 to be part of the processional, and thank you for sharing in this important tradition of the church’sworship!
