NOTE: THE PALM CROSS WORKSHOP scheduled for March 23 has been cancelled due to a funeral service that day.

SUNDAY OF THE PASSION - "PALM SUNDAY"

Sunday, March 24 (11:00 am)

We will gather in the parish hall before the service for the blessing of the Palms. Then our children, carrying crosses, will lead us in procession through the lychgate to the church. As we enter the church, our musician will be playing the prelude, after which we will sing our first hymn "All glory, laud, and honor."

LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEER READERS FOR READING OF THE PASSION GOSPEL

Palm Sunday features an interactive reading of the Passion Gospel (this year according to Mark), where different members read "in parts," and the congregation joins in as well. If you are interested reading one of the parts, please contact Fr. Dan.

(rector@oldtrinity.net).
