This year's Palm Sunday celebration at COTM was a joyful, yet poignant encounter with the story of Jesus' last ride into Jerusalem. After receiving palm branches, members of the congregation gathered outside to reenact the story of Jesus riding into Jerusalem. Led by the drum, we moved from one area outside to another as we dramatically read different parts of the Gospel story. Once inside, the service continued with account of Christ's arrest and trial. It was fitting way to begin Holy Week.
