This Sunday is Palm Sunday, the day we remember Jesus’ so-called “Triumphal Entry” into Jerusalem. But this isn’t your usual kind of parade. There are no trumpets, no soldiers, no banners flying high. Just cloaks on the ground, a borrowed colt, and a Savior moving toward danger—not away from it.
Luke 19:29–40 paints a quiet but powerful scene. Jesus rides in while people shout blessings, and when the Pharisees ask him to silence the crowd, Jesus replies, “If they were silent, the stones would cry out.”
Why all this noise?
Because Jesus’ arrival isn’t just a spectacle—it’s resistance. It’s hope. It’s truth riding in on a donkey.
This Sunday’s theme is “When Even the Stones Cry Out.” We’ll explore what it means to lift our voices in praise and protest, to hold reverent silence when needed, and to follow a King who chooses compassion over conquest. In a world that often demands our silence, Palm Sunday reminds us: sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is speak up.
Join us this Sunday at 10am, in person or online, for worship filled with palms, music, prayer, and a powerful message rooted in today’s headlines and ancient hope. There will be palms for everyone, and space for both joyful shouts and sacred silence.

Palm Sunday invites us into the story.
Come wave a branch.
Come cry out—or simply listen.
Come and find your place in the procession.
Because even if we fall silent, the stones will still sing:
“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”
