20 Create Event Palm Sunday Drag Palm Sunday\|\| Palm Sunday commemorates the triumphal entry <br>of Jesus into Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. The <br>gospels record the arrival of Jesus riding into the city <br>on a donkey, while the crowds spread their cloaks <br>and palm branches on the street and shouted <br>â€œHosanna to the Son of Davidâ€ and â€œBlessed is he who <br>comes in the name of the Lordâ€ to honor him as their <br>long-awaited Messiah and King. The significance of <br>Jesus riding a donkey and having his way paved with <br>palm branches is a fulfillment of a prophecy spoken <br>by the prophet Zechariah (Zechariah 9:9). <br> In biblical times, the regional custom called for <br>kings and nobles arriving in procession to ride on the <br>back of a donkey. The donkey was a symbol of peace; <br>those who rode upon them proclaimed peaceful <br>intentions. The laying of palm branches indicated <br>that the king or dignitary was arriving in victory or <br>triumph. 8:00a Holy Eucharist Rite Drag Holy Eucharist Rite\|8:00AM\|Holy Eucharist Rite I with Rev.

The word â€œmaundyâ€ comes from <br>the Latin word for â€œcommandment,â€ and this day is <br>named thus as it is the day of the Last Supper, the <br>institution of what we now celebrate as the Lordâ€™s <br>Supper, and it is the day we received the â€œnew <br>commandment.â€ After Jesus washed the feet of his <br>disciples, he said, â€œI give you a new commandment, <br>that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, <br>you also should love one another.â€ 7:00p Maudy Thursday Service Drag Maudy Thursday Service\|7:00PM\|Footwashing and Stripping of the Altar<br>Service with Rev Wanda Copeland<br>Altar: Bill Game<br>Reader/Chalice: Bill Game/Melody Chilson	25 Create Event Office Closed Drag Office Closed\| Good Friday Drag Good Friday\|\|GOOD FRIDAY<br>Good Friday is truly â€˜goodâ€™. Its sorrow is a Godly <br>sorrow. This commemoration of Christâ€™s death <br>reminds us of the human sin that caused this death. <br>And we see again that salvation comes only through <br>Godly sorrowâ€”both Godâ€™s and, in repentance, ours. <br>To pursue happiness, we must first experience <br>sorrow. He who goes forth sowing tears returns in <br>joy. At the same time, of course, Good Friday recalls <br>for us the greatness and wonder of Godâ€™s loveâ€”that <br>He should submit to death for us. 7:00p Liturgy of the Passion Drag Liturgy of the Passion\|7:00PM\|7pm Liturgy of the Passion<br><br>8pm Stations of the Cross<br>Services with Rev Wanda Copeland<br>Altar; Terry Fox<br>Reader/Chalice; Melody Chilson/Kitty Rolfe<br>	26 Create Event Holy Saturday Drag Holy Saturday\| 5:30p Easter Vigil and Baptism Drag Easter Vigil and Baptism\|5:30PM\|Service with Rev.
