First Sunday of Lent

We want to invite you on a journey during Lent. The events of Christ’s Passion, which take place during the last week of Jesus’ life, often don’t receive enough time in our worship and study. These stories are important to our faith journey and our identity as followers of Jesus. And yet we often move too quickly from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday with little time to take in the dramatic story of that last week. Throughout the six weeks of Lent, we will “freeze-frame” moments in Holy Week so we might put ourselves in the picture [refer to the logo image on the screen or worship guide cover], thereby “Entering the Passion of Jesus.” How might taking a closer look at the ancient story open us to deeper conviction for our role in continuing the powerful message?

This Sunday we begin our exploration of Holy Week with the narratives of what we now celebrate as Palm Sunday. FYI: We will also have a Palm Processional during worship on actual Palm Sunday which is April 13th.
