Trinity Worship - Palm Sunday - March 28, 2021
Today marks the beginning of Holy Week. During Holy Week we journey with Christ through the events that led to his death and we celebrate his victory over the grave. You are invited on this journey as we remember, as we reflect, and as we celebrate. This year all of our Holy Week services will be online and you are invited to participate at a time that is most convenient for you. We will send an email with a direct link to the service on both Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, additionally, all our services will be available on our worship page: TrinitySpringfieldPCUSA.org/worship
If we have your mailing address you should have received a Holy Week packet (or will be receiving it soon). In that packet is a palm cross to mark Palm Sunday. I want to encourage you to place that cross in a place you will see it this week to help remind you of the journey of this week - from palms of praise to the scandal of the cross.
Please remember that we are still collecting for the One Great Hour of Sharing Special Offering. You can learn more and support this critical mission work of the national church here: https://trinityspringfieldpcusa.org/oghs

In addition to our weekly worship from Trinity, we are pleased to share a Palm Sunday Sermon from the Rev. Brian Ellison, the Stated Clerk of the Synod of Mid-America.
