Palm Sunday is a time when we remember Jesus’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem. And so we, like those who hailed Jesus on that day, wave our palm branches, shouting “Hosanna – blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!”
Blessing of the Palms in the Park. Our Palm Sunday celebration begins in Bronson Park at 9:45am as we gather with our neighbor park churches and clergy to bless the palms. Meet at 9:30am with the clergy at the welcome desk by the church office. We will hand out palm branches and bulletins and then walk to Bronson Park together. At 9:45am we will share a collective liturgy and bless our palm branches. Each faith community will then return to their church for worship service.
Palm Procession and Worship. We continue worship back in our sanctuary after blessing the palm branches in Bronson Park. The children’s procession of the palms follows our call to worship. All are invited to join the procession as the parade passes you!
Palm Sunday Brunch. Please join us in Wesley Hall for a Palm Sunday brunch immediately following worship. There will be baskets by the doors of Wesley Hall to take a goodwill offering to cover the cost of brunch.
