As We Gather

Today marks a turning point. The songs of Lent do not end, but the song change key. As Jesus enters Jerusalem, the crowd sings with hope while He walks with purpose. This message invites us to follow Christ forward, not because the road is easy, but because He goes on ahead of us into suffering, obedience, and salvation.

Prayer Before Service

Let us go with Him today and imitate His passion. Let us offer ourselves as a sacrifice to God, not with palm branches or olive trees, but with humility and patience, with meekness and mercy. Amen.

Historical Note:
St. Andrew of Crete (c. 660–740) was an early Church father known for his sermons and hymns, especially during Lent and Holy Week. This prayer reflects the ancient Church’s Palm Sunday theology, moving beyond outward celebration toward inward repentance and faithful following.
