Palm Sunday

 Today we celebrated the beginning of the week leading up to Easter with our celebration of Palm Sunday. Our children and some of our youth and young adults led in the procession with their palm branches during a special hymn.

 Palm Sunday celebrates the Biblical account of Jesus entering Jerusalem the week before His death of the cross and the people praising and welcoming Him into the city. After the hymn the kids all shouted "Hosanna" and "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD" as the Bible tells us happened on that first Palm Sunday.

 Brent preached a great sermon about the Last Supper and we had the Lord's Supper as part of our service as well.

 Here is Bethany after our Palm Sunday evening services this evening. She is a happy "Daddy's Girl"

 I got a special blessing today as well. I really enjoy celebrating fun days and events with the girls, such as "Sisters Day" or National Siblings Day. I usually notice when fun days are coming up throughout the year. But I didn't know that March is Pastors' Wives Appreciation Month. Apparently, several sweet ladies in our church family did know this though! I received several sweet cards, notes, gifts and kind words over the past few days. It was a rather long and hectic week last week and your kindness really blessed my heart and encouraged me. Thank you to all of you for the blessing you are to me and to our family!

Thanking God for the blessings of today that He shares with me and looking forward to celebrating His Resurrection this upcoming week. Thankful that He was willing to go to the cross for me that I may have forgiveness in Him and for His huge grace in my life!
