Service for Palm & Passion Sunday - March 29, 2026

Today marks the beginning of Holy Week: the start of Christ's journey from the expectant praise of the crowds on Palm Sunday, through the humble, self-giving love shared on Maundy Thursday, to the horrible suffering, shame and death endured on the cross on Good Friday, and finally to the world-changing hope of His resurrection at Easter.

Instead of a Sermon this Sunday, we are invited to spend some more time reflecting on the Gospel readings, both the account of Christ Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, as well as of His faithful sacrifice and death on the cross.

In our Morning Prayer service today, the second Gospel reading from Matthew has several invitations to pause and prayerfully reflect on the unfolding story. 

Please do not rush through this time, but invite the Holy Spirit of God to make known the significance of the story of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us and for our world. 

It may be beneficial to slowly read the Gospel aloud, and to make a note of any parts of the reading that especially stand out to you. Throughout the coming week, bring all these things back to God in prayer.
