The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13 They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Blessed is the king of Israel!”
14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:
15 “Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion;
see, your king is coming,
seated on a donkey’s colt.”
John 12:12-15Pa
This Sunday is Palm Sunday and the beginning of Holy Week.
Palm Sunday at LCPC should be a fun day as we begin our service outside the sanctuary and process in with “Willy the Donkey” leading us into worship. Tell any kids (or kids at heart) that our church is having a donkey at church this Sunday! Willy also loves taking pictures so after church you can take your picture with Willy!
Don’t forget, the most important week of the Christian calendar starts on Sunday and we have something taking place every day next week.
- Monday thru Friday at noon, we will have a short communion service.
- On Thursday, we will have a 7pm Maundy Thursday Service with communion.
- On Good Friday, at 7pm we will have a service remembering Christ’s sacrifice on a cross as we listen and see nails be driven into a cross for our sins.
- On Easter Sunday at 9:45am we will have a celebratory service remembering Christ’s resurrection, with lots of great music and excitement. Of course, we will have some goodies to eat after the service to enjoy.
Be praying for our week together as we remember Christ’s last week.
Is there a family member, a friend, a co-worker that might be open to coming with you to one of our upcoming services at LCPC? Let me encourage you to pray about who you might invite and may we make this Easter time where God’s love shines through as we remember the resurrection of His son Jesus Christ.
I am praying for our week together and I hope to see you at some of our services.

This Friday and Saturday we will be having a “24-Hour Prayer Vigil” taking time as a church to pray for our neighbors. If you haven’t signed up that is OK, you can still take part by praying any time between 9am on Friday, March 15 – Saturday, March 16 at 9:00am.
The theme of this prayer vigil is to be praying for our neighbors. Take this opportunity to pray, especially for people that you know that don’t know Jesus. In fact, be specific. Pray for three people that you know that need to know Jesus and make it a point to invite them to Easter service.
Let’s see how God moves in the lives of the people that we pray for.
