Palm Sunday traditionally marks the beginning of Holy Week. According to scripture green branches were cut from the trees and placed on the road as Jesus entered into the city.  In Jewish tradition, palms had often been associated with victory. The crowds shouted, “Hosanna” which means God save us. It was a festive day as pilgrims from all around the Mediterranean Sea gathered to celebrate the week of Passover.

Our Palm Sunday Service at Lake of the Isles will be a festive day as well. The Sunday School children will process with their palms.

The choir will sing special music… Johann Sebastian Bach’s Himmelskönig, sei willkommen (King of Heaven, ever welcome)
