Welcome to Holy Week, beloved church! Today begins our observance of one of the most sacred and impactful weeks of our faith. Palm Sunday is not just a moment of celebration but it’s also an invitation to sit UP and proclaim what we know to be true about our faith, what we know to be true about Jesus and his message of LOVE

“Come and follow me:” One the most thought provoking and anxiety producing phrases in the Gospels any of us can hear or experience in our lives.
