You are warmly invited to join us at All Saints for The Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday.

Our service begins at 9:30 a.m. as we gather with palms in hand to remember Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem and to begin the solemn journey of Holy Week. Together, we will move from shouts of “Hosanna!” to the story of the Passion, holding both joy and sorrow in sacred balance.

 Come and walk this holy path with us through scripture, prayer, music, and Eucharist. All are welcome.

Readings this week are:
Genesis 12:1-4a
Psalm 121
Romans 4:1-5, 13-17
John 3:1-17

About the Artwork: Palm Sunday by Peter Koenig

Peter Koenig’s Palm Sunday vividly brings to life the Gospel of Luke 19:28–40, the passage we proclaim on this Sunday of the Passion. In this piece, Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem is not distant or abstract but immediate and expressive — crowds gathered, palms raised, and hope rising in the moment when the crowd recognizes Christ’s nearness. Koenig’s use of color, gesture, and form invites us into the biblical scene as participants, not merely observers.

In the Episcopal tradition, sacred art serves as an extension of our worship — a visual scripture that deepens our prayer and reflection. Palm Sunday helps us hold both the joy of “Hosanna!” and the approaching reality of Holy Week’s sorrow in the same breath. As we prepare to enter this holy season together, may the image stir our hearts, illuminate the Gospel story, and draw us more fully into the mystery of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection.
