Our Palm Saturday service begins our Holy Week journey together as a church.

The Story
On this day, Jesus entered Jerusalem and was welcomed as King, but immediately faced opposition (Luke 19:39).

Our Invitation
The Palm Procession
When the service starts, we are the crowd along the road into Jerusalem, waving palm branches and singing to welcome Jesus as he enters Jerusalem as King!

The Passion Reading
A short time later, we are the crowd again, but this time we are angry, turning against Jesus, shouting, “Crucify him!” (Join in loudly. If it feels jarring, that’s the idea.) This painful contrast, of joy and anger, sets the tone for the week to come as we walk through these final days of Jesus’ earthly ministry.
