Palm Sunday Worship

April 10, 2022 | 9:30 am - 10:30 am
Place : Sanctuary
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 service will include a choral reading of the Passion Story According to St. Luke woven together with the music of Dietrich Buxtehude’s sacred cantata Nought Shall Separate Us together with the Lake String Quartet. The choir will also perform one of the most beloved anthems for Palm Sunday, Jean-Baptiste Faure’s The Palms.
Immediately following the worship service, Don Holzschuh will be serving a family style pancake breakfast. Guests will be ushered to tables, and pancakes will be delivered fresh off the griddle to the tables. Proceeds will benefit the Lake of the Isles Camp Scholarship Fund and Luther Park Bible Camp.
During the pancake breakfast, the children will be invited to the Parsonage for an Easter egg hunt.
