Today is Palm Sunday, the day Christians remember Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, when we focus on the last week of our Lord's life, including
- his final teachings
- his time with his disciples in the upper room when he instituted the Lord's Supper
- his arrest and trial
- his crucifixion
Part of our annual Palm Sunday celebration at WPC is the procession of the church's children with palms during the first hymn All Glory, Laud and Honor. What a great sight that was today! Watching the children process around the sanctuary was so inspiring! It made me realize that our building project is really for them, for their generation of faithful Christians at WPC. The facility that we enjoy today was given to us by past generations; now we are building a facility for future generations to enjoy. That, in itself, makes it so worthwhile, doesn't it?
During Fellowship Hour people commented on the great number of children carrying palms, and how wonderful it is to see so many youngsters at WPC. I sure wish I had remembered to take pics! Here are a few from Palm Sunday 2009. If nothing else, you can see how our kids have grown! :)
