SUMMARY:Palm Sunday Procession
DESCRIPTION:Help us enter Holy Week! At 9:15 a.m.\, come together with area churches (and a live donkey!) in the Ecumenical Palm Sunday Parade. Following the walk\, gather in the church kitchen to learn a bit about the history of hot cross buns — an early spring and Easter favorite — decorate one for yourself or a friend\, and have a bite before worship! Then grab a palm branch outside of the Sanctuary between 10:25-10:30 a.m. and help lead the way into worship as part of the children’s Palm Sunday procession. \nPlease note that Sunday school and Faith & Parenting classes will not meet at 9:15 a.m. on Palm Sunday\, April 13.
