Services at 8 amd 10:30 pm.

The Palm Sunday liturgy is built around paradox. We begin outside in the courtyard with the Liturgy of the Palms. We hear the story of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem and the people waving leafy branches and shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" After the palms are blessed, we process into the church singing "All Glory Laud and Honor." Once inside, the tone of the service shifts abruptly as we sing "Ride on, Ride On in majesty." We move from joy to sorrow. The Passion Gospel is read in parts with the congregation taking the part of the crowd, saying "Crucify him! Crucify him!" This is a powerful experience and speaks of the vicissitudes of human nature and God's great love for us.
