*Sunday Notes:*
· All gather in the Narthex or Parking Lot around the processional cross with palm branches in hand.
· The congregation processes into the sanctuary, following the cross. Each member lays his palms on the floor at the entrance to the chancel.
· A time of silence is observed to highlight the contrast between Jesus’ triumphal entry and His passion.
· The entire passion narrative will be read. The tradition of standing during the Gospel reading is intended to recognize the very voice of Jesus in our midst—it is a sign of great reverence. If you desire, you may stand for the reading; or, due to its length, you may sit.

*”Faith At Work* is gearing up for our community service event in April, and we need to finalize who we should be expecting and when. Please indicate your availability on the sign up sheets in the Narthex, and inform Keith of your T-shirt preferences on the sheet or via email as we have several more. We have narrowed our group activities to those who are currently being filled, so only sign up for new alternatives on the sheet if you can find at least a few compatriots! We need to know if you will be joining with CAW on the afternoon of the 7th to support a family fun neighborhood day, supporting a crisis pregnancy center in mid-weekday, working at a warehouse for children’s food needs, or providing a meal at the Ronald McDonald house on 4/27/24 starting at 5pm. Please email kkbphd@gmail.com or speak to him for sign up. Anyone can also contribute to each of the opportunities any time you like, and those who really enjoy their experience can also *continue* to volunteer after April…” Keith Buhr
