This Palm Sunday service began with the Psalm 118, the Gloria Patri and the hymn of praise was "Hosanna, Lous Hosanna." A special presentation and banner was offered by our Junior Church Members, and the children walked through the aisles waving palm branches as the congregation sang. Nancy Schneider performed a beautiful piano solo.

And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
Lu 19:37
And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

set his face to go to Jerusalem,
Mt 16:21

Joh 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Pastor Robbie said we are being saved daily. The event of the Cross, and the sacrifice Jesus made for us, exists outside of time. God saves us every day, and we are being saved at all times. We must trust in the power of the Cross, for this is the only road to the kingdom of heaven.
There was a special presentation by Judy Kirker, who drew the scene of the crucifixion. Becky Hawkins accompanied with music and song. Afterwards, we joined in the celebration of communion.
