This Sunday

we will observe as Palm to Passion Sunday. 

As we begin Holy Week, we join Jesus, the disciples, and the crowds for Jesus' celebrated entry into Jerusalem, 

but the shadow of the cross touches even the joy of Palm Sunday.

Maria Bouche will serve as liturgist, and 

Bridget Duffy-Ulrich will direct the Chancel Choir.





We worship in person and via live streaming on our website and our YouTube Channel at
