This coming Sunday, March 29, is Palm Sunday, the time in the church year when we remember the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem at the beginning of his last week. The Sunday gets its name from the historical fact that the disciples and the crowd laid palm branches in the path where the donkey Jesus was riding would walk (John 12:12-16; Mark 11:7-10). As we will at Copper Hill Church, many churches traditionally distribute palm fronds to worshipers in memory of Jesus on that day. Palm Sunday also marks the beginning of the church’s observance of Holy Week.
Our choir will highlight our Palm Sunday at the new 9:30 AM time with their contemporary anthem, “What Kind of Love Is This?” by Phillips, Craig and Dean. Four new members will be received plus one sixth grader may be confirmed on that day as well. Pastor Kelvin’s next message in his series on “Names of Jesus that Instruct and Inspire” will discuss the title “Prince of Peace.”
