Experience one of our most cherished services Sunday, March 29, at 10 a.m. in the Sanctuary and Front Lawn.

We’ll begin with a triumphant celebration—joyful hymns, anthems, and the waving of palm branches as we remember Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. The service concludes with a powerful procession of the cross, accompanied by the soaring sounds of the organ and violin.

Together, we will follow the cross to the front lawn, where we will place our palms at its foot while singing O Sacred Head, Now Wounded.

As Jesus enters Jerusalem, the crowd asks, “Who is that man?” It is not just their question. It is ours. This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Layne Smith invites us to consider how our answer shapes the way we live, love, and embody our faith in the world.

All are welcome. Come and journey with us.

Following worship all are invited to join us in Heaton Hall for a reception celebrating the ministry of our Minister of Music and Worship, James Kevin Gray.
