Since 1949, Presbyterians have joined with millions of other Christians through One Great Hour of Sharing to share God’s love with people experiencing need. Our gifts support ministries of disaster response, refugee assistance and resettlement, and community development that help people find safe refuge, start new lives and work together to strengthen their families and communities.

Recognizing that the hope we have in Christ is lived out in our hope for one another, we respond with gifts that help our sisters and brothers around the world find the hope for a brighter future.

This year we have chosen to take this offering on Pentecost Sunday, May 23. Join with us as we reach out to help those in need.

The Prodigal God Sermon Series

1. February 28 – The People Around Jesus (Luke 15:1-10)
2. March 7 - Give Me My Share (Luke 15:11-24)
3. March 14 – He Refused To Go In (Luke 15:25-32)
4. March 21 – Everything I Have Is Yours (Luke 15:1-6, 25-32)
5. March 28 – We Had To Celebrate (Luke 15:11-32)

The purpose behind the triumphal entry was to communicate that Christ was indeed the promised Messiah, the King of the Jews and by extension, the King of the Universe.

“…A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”  “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”  “Hosanna in the highest!”  When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”  The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”  Matthew 21:8-11

Holy Week starts with the triumphant entry of Jesus!  The music for worship on Palm Sunday is regal and celebratory.  The city of Jerusalem welcomed the “Royal Son of David” and their “Redeemer King”, truly the hope of Israel.  Our worship will join the celebration, as our children process with palms to welcome Jesus.

 As we begin Holy Week on Sunday March 28, 2010, we invite you to come and worship with us.

Nursery care is provided and recommended during this service.
