Sunday, March 29, 2026: Palm Sunday Service

March 23, 2026/ St Johns United Church of Christ

🌿 Palm Sunday at St. John’s UCC 🌿
10:00 AM | In-Person & Online

Holy Week begins with celebration.

Palm Sunday reminds us that hope can show up in unexpected ways — even in uncertain times. As the crowds welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem, they were longing for peace, justice, and change. Sound familiar?

This Sunday, our Confirmation Class and Handbell Choir will lead a joyful procession, helping us enter the story with palms in hand and courage in our hearts.

✨ Come wave a palm.
✨ Come sing loudly.
✨ Come reflect deeply.
✨ Come as you are.

At St. John’s UCC, we believe faith should make room for real life — your doubts, your questions, your joy, your grief. You belong here.
