Worship Sneak Peek April 14th - Palm Sunday This Holy Mystery: Sacrificial Living Join us for our Palm Sunday celebration as we enter our most holy week of the year. We'll conclude our worship series on Holy Communion, in which we've been exploring different aspects of this great and mysterious meal of bread and cup. This week, we will look at our call to live in faithful response to God's gift of love and salvation in our lives, and the promise we make in our communion liturgy to live as a holy and living sacrifice devoting ourselves to God's work in the world. We hope you join us to grow in your understanding and experience of communion. For a preview of this week's bulletin, click here. Hope to see you Sunday!
