Palm Sunday Parade
Every year on Palm Sunday, children are invited to join the Palm Sunday Parade at 9:30 am worship. Gather on the patio at 9:15 am, and find your Sunday School teacher. Walk with the teachers and children, waving palms and singing as we remember how Jesus was welcomed riding into Jerusalem on a donkey.

Pastor's Message
Dear Friend in Faith,
We begin Holy week as a time to remember and focus on Jesus’ final words and acts. These moments give us a close look at the courage and culmination of Jesus’ ministry. The last supper, praying in the garden of Gethsemane, the trial and crucifixion are events that reveal Jesus’ self-giving love and challenge us to live as more faithful disciples.
The events of Holy week ask us if we will follow Jesus to these places that form our faith, to the Upper Room, to the Garden and ultimately to the cross itself. Each character in the Passion story has a different reaction to Jesus, so it is not hard to see ourselves in those who betray or deny Jesus, those who disagree with his methods or those who in compassion stop to help him. The people around Jesus carried such differing expectations on what the Messiah should do and how he should act to deliver God’s people. Yet none could truly grasp how the Messiah could be a suffering servant who willingly takes on the pain of the world as a way of redeeming our lives...
