Palm Sunday March 29, 2026
Jazz Celebration of the Palms
9:40 AM, Sanctuary
To mark the beginning of Holy Week, we will gather in the Sanctuary before service to celebrate Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Our jazz trio — Jane Potter (keyboards), Lenny Bradford (bass), and Rick Forzese (drums) — will offer prelude jazz music beginning approximately 9:30 am. Then at 9:40 am, we will assemble to bless the palms, read the scripture, and sing together as we begin our Palm Sunday celebration. Our 10:00 am worship service will follow.
Palm Sunday Worship Service
10:00 AM, Sanctuary and Online
Remembering Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem for his final week and his passion, our worship opens the gate to Holy Week and prepares us for the coming Friday and eventually Easter Sunday. Palm leaves are distributed, songs of praise lifted and a foreshadowing of what is to come draws us prayerfully toward the heart of our faith. We will worship live and in-person; and the service will also be live streamed.
