Dear ,Next Sunday is Palm Sunday, the day that begins Holy Week with the celebration of Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem. To kick off the worship service, all kids are invited to participate in the beginning of worship!All kids are invited to leading us into worship by waving palm branches! We will meet in the basement (under the Sanctuary) at 9:45am to get our palms and practice our shouts of HOSANA!Then, you’re invited to our Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services on Thursday April 2nd and Friday April 3rd respectively. Each of these services help tell the story that unfolds between Palm Sunday and Easter; they add a wonderful dimension to Holy Week and truly help emphasize the power of the Resurrection on Easter morning.
I hope you’ll join us!
