Worship in Holy Week and Easter
Palm Sunday Procession and Eucharist - 5:30 pm - Jesus enters Jerusalem not so much in a parade but in a staged counter-procession. Across town, the Roman governor would have been entering Jerusalem, with horses and banners and armor and gold and an entourage, to keep an eye on things during Passover. Jesus enters with palms and a donkey and people shouting Hosanna, Save Us! This is no ordinary ride into town - Jesus is offering a vision that counters that of oppression and occupation.
