During the service last week, I mentioned that despite better judgment, I was asked to lead one of the palm processional lines as we begin worship this Sunday!
I don’t have a strong desire to praise with a palm by myself — no one wants to see that — so why don’t you join me? Please join me! All are welcome to gather in the back of the sanctuary, procure your palm, and begin the praise into the sanctuary during the opening song, Dancing in the Spirit — not to be confused with Dancing on the Ceiling. And hey, if you’re in the pews as the line passes and feel the urge, by all means, jump in. “Sing praises to the glory of God’s name! Make glorious the Lord’s praise. All the earth worships you, sings praises to you, sings praises to your name!” (Psalm 66)
As we prepare, consider reading the full story of Palm Sunday in Luke 19:28-48. You may know this already, but there’s more going on when Jesus enters Jerusalem than shouts of praise.
Looking forward to seeing you Sunday for worship, either in person or online. If you’re joining us online, go to the online worship page at 10 AM CST. Our full Holy Week schedule is below.
