Holy Week 2026
Holy Week began on Sunday with a parade from the narthex, the back of the church, through the sanctuary, where we worship. It was great to see such a crowd parading around the sanctuary with palms waving, singing “All Glory, Laud, and Honor” - a classic for Palm Sunday. Later we sang “Ride On, Ride On in Majesty” - another favorite.
Palm Sunday is always an odd Sunday because we start with the joy of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, but them shift to the passion story, the story of Jesus death, that will come later in the week.
Pr. Hopgood skillfully walked us through this, contrasting the power of those in charge with the power of Jesus the King. He empashized, as he always does, God’s unconditional love and forgiveness for us, which will be poignantly brought to light in this Holy Week.
And we celebrated the most important meal of the week, the Lord’s Supper. All are welcome to the table!
Stay tuned for more to come!
