Palm Sunday, April 9, 2017

We gather in the courtyard for our opening service, reading from Matthew 21 about Jesus's humble entry to cheering throngs.

Palms are distributed at the entry.

The congregation lines up outside the sanctuary.


The Pastors lead the way.


Followed by children


And a mighty throng singing Hosanna.

Later in the service we switch to Passion Sunday, where Jesus is illegally brought before an entirely different crowd, bent on his destruction, calling "Crucify Him!"

But for the time being, we are joyfully, blissfully praising his presence.
