DisciplesNet Worship #462: Palm-Passion Sunday (staff 04.14.2019)
to watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.
In the space of less than a week Jesus went from a joyous entry into Jerusalem to being put to death by the powers in that city. Our staff does a dramatic reading of these events to help us understand them and, most importantly, understand the one who gave his life that we might know God's undying love for us.
The worship service is 29 minutes long and includes a time of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, preaching as well as communion. You may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." If you would like to share with us at the table that goes beyond earthly boundaries of time, place, and structure, we ask that you prepare a piece of bread of some type and a drink such as grape juice, wine, or water. As we pray, our prayers extend to where you are. If you are unable to eat or drink, you may want to use a symbolic gesture or mental symbol as you come together at this table of remembrance with us.
