Palm Sunday/Action Sunday

Join us in person and online for worship service starting at 9:55 with gathering music.

Inspiring Us to Act…

This Sunday is Palm Sunday – a day when we remember how Jesus’ arrival
into Jerusalem caused people to spring into action. Coats were taken off and
thrown into the street to make a path for Jesus. Trees were scaled and palm
branches torn off so that they could be used to welcome this humble king,
riding on a donkey. Shouts of Hosanna filled the air. It’s the beginning of
Holy Week, an action-packed week that changed the world.

This Sunday, we will remember that the good news of our faith inspires us to
act – to welcome Jesus into our midst through our own actions. On this Palm
Sunday, we will also celebrate Action Sunday. After a shorter worship service,
we’ll have the opportunity to assemble hygiene kits, prepare bags for our
feeding ministries, work on our playground that serves children of the
greater community, or help lead a hymn sing at Caretel. Join us as we
remember that the good news inspires us to act!
