Palm Sunday Service of Celebration

Posted March 21st, 2010 by admin

The First Presbyterian Church in Cazenovia will celebrate a Palm Sunday worship service at 10:00 a.m. on March 28th.

Catharine Wheat, Director of Music, has planned a significant service of music. The organ prelude will be “Allegro Con Brio” from Sonata IV by Mendelssohn. There will be special music from the Sounds of Chimes Hand Bell Choir as well as music from all the vocal choirs of the church. The Senior Choir will sing the anthem “The Palms” by Faure.

The Reverend Dr. Steven R. Thomas, Jr. will deliver the sermon entitled “The Lord God Helps Me!”

The children from the Sunday School will distribute Palms.
Palm Sunday, also known as Passion Sunday, is the Sunday before Easter. Palm Sunday remembers Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem near the end his public ministry. When Jesus entered the city with his entourage, people laid palm branches in the road before him and greeted him as the long awaited Messiah. They shouted “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord.”

After the Palm Sunday service there will be a gourmet brunch at 11:30 a.m. in the church’s Meeting House. The brunch will honor the new people joining the church, but the event is free and open to anyone wanting good food and good fellowship.

If you are looking for an open and friendly place to celebrate Palm Sunday, Pastor Thomas invites you to worship at the First Presbyterian Church of Cazenovia. Child Care and Sunday School are available during the service. For more information contact the church at 655-3191 or visit our website at www.cazpres.org.
