Palm/Passion Sunday, April 14, 2019

April 12, 2019 by

9:30 a.m. – WORSHIP SERVICE WITH HOLY COMMUNION AND READING OF THE PASSION STORY – Everyone is invited to gather in the Fellowship Hall for an outdoor Procession with Palms into the Sanctuary. Worship music led Jonathan Struve, with special music by the Good Shepherd Choir, conducted by Jonathan Struve.

From Pastor Amy … This Sunday we remember both Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem and his suffering and death. This day holds both great joy and deep sorrow, as do our lives. This Sunday assures us how deeply Jesus enters into our lives in order to love the world. May we enter into this Holy Week fully that we may be formed to more fully love the world.
