PALM SUNDAY MUSIC SERVICE AT 11AM
The next day the great crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord—
the King of Israel!”
Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:
“Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion.
Look, your king is coming,
sitting on a donkey’s colt!”

Epiphany Prayer:
"O God of Light and Life,

We are thankful that you illuminate our dark places
and bring joy to our bright places.

Beauty and grace abound as we are made aware of your presence
in our waking, eating, working, playing, and resting.

Your Spirit encourages us to hope,
entices us to trust,
and emboldens us to love
so that we might keep and create the peace
that you desire will live within us
and between us.

Inspire us to be light and life to all we meet,
both near and far, family and foe, friend and stranger –
for we are all your children,
and siblings of one another. Amen"

Artist: Shiloh Sophia
Prayer: Bret Myers

📣 The United Church of Christ & Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) leadership released a joint statement on the Venezuela takeover by the United States:

[excerpt] As members of the World Council of Churches, we affirm and support the WCC’s statement condemning the actions of the United States. We join the global ecumenical community in calling for restraint, respect for sovereignty, and renewed commitment to peaceful, multilateral engagement.

We recall Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5:9: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” His teachings compel us to work tirelessly for peace, justice, and reconciliation.

We offer our prayers for all communities impacted by the recent unilateral and unlawful decisions of the United States to attack sovereign nations. As churches committed to the gospel of peace, we grieve the loss, fear, and instability these actions have caused globally. These actions do not create the conditions for a safer or more peaceful world.
