Its Palm & Passion Sunday

Holy Covenant,

This Sunday, we gather for a worship service that is converging on two special days: Palm Sunday and Confirmation Sunday. As we wave our palm branches and remember Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, a moment filled with celebration, courage, and commitment, we will also be pausing to honor a sacred milestone in the lives of six of our youth.

With joy and pride, we will celebrate our confirmands as they complete their confirmation journey. These young people have spent the past months asking deep questions, exploring their faith, and discovering how they are uniquely called to live out God’s love in the world. And now, they are ready to stand before us, sharing their experience and the faith of their understanding.

Yes, that’s right! Our confirmands will be preaching the sermon this Sunday, sharing reflections on their journey and what confirmation has meant to them. It will be a powerful moment of witness, not only to their growth but to the vibrant and inclusive church that has walked alongside them.

This is a moment for our entire congregation to surround them with encouragement, affirmation, and blessing. Following worship, we invite you to join us for a reception in the Gathering Room. Cards and notes of congratulations are a welcome way to show your love and support.

Come ready to sing, to pray, to bless, and to be inspired. Let’s show up to lift these amazing young people as they step forward in faith, claiming their place in the story of God’s unfolding love.

Peace and Blessings,

Rev. Christopher Czarnecki
