• Hosanna! Day Festivities on Palm Sunday April 2

For our congregation, Palm Sunday is a day to do more than just celebrate God’s majesty, goodness, and self-giving love.  It’s also a day to remember who we are, celebrate life together, and give back.  Join us for this annual celebration with the following activities:

• Worship - Ancient traditions meet our present lives as we wave palms and praise God in this joyful worship service.

• Breakfast - We sit down and enjoy pancakes together, connecting over good food and conversations, and experiencing one of the greatest gifts God has given us--each other.  A freewill donation will be collected on this day to support our high school youth. 

• Jesus’ Passion Experience - Pastor Mike will lead a hands-on interactive telling of Jesus’ betrayal, arrest, crucifixion, and resurrection. 

• Easter Egg Hunt - Kids will have the chance to find Easter eggs and redeem them for fun and faith-filled prizes.  

• Stations of the Cross - Meditate on Jesus’ last days by viewing artwork created by a past member with scripture and guided reflections.  Pick up a series of illustrations to color as you meditate on Jesus’ passion and death.  Get directions to take you on a stations of the cross scavenger hunt across Liberty. 

• Cards for Seniors - Nursing facilities can feel foreign and uncomfortable for anyone who has never been to one, but they can truly be places of life and love.  Learn about nursing facilities and join us we make cards for residents at the Oxford Grand and Addington Place. 

• If you’d like to help with Hosanna! Day activities, please talk with Pastor Mike.

Hosanna! Day is a day of fun, fellowship, and faith that is open to everyone.  We encourage you to invite family, friends, and neighbors to join us!
