HOLY WEEK
PALM SUNDAY
Sunday, April 2, 2023

9:00AM Traditional Worship

​
Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus' entry into the city of Jerusalem after his ministry in the countryside. The people of Jerusalem had heard all about his teachings and miracles and were excited to have him in their city. As he processed into town, people grabbed palms and waved them in welcome and honor.
Palm Sunday begins Holy Week and is a celebration of the resurrection to come. Join us for worship where we wave palms to signify the awe and wonder of Jesus.

MAUNDY THURSDAY
Christ in the Passover: A Seder
Thursday, April 6th at 6:30, SJA will host “Christ in the Passover: A Seder.” This powerful dinner event, led by Alexander Adelson of Jews for Jesus, will help us discover the link between the Jewish feast of Passover and the last supper Jesus shared with His disciples.
Join us for an exploration of the beautiful symbolism of the Jewish ceremonial meal called a seder. We’ll weave the story of the exodus and freedom from slavery together with the messianic hope realized in Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. The words “do this in remembrance of me” will take on an even deeper meaning to Christians as we learn the significance of and fully participate in the tradition Jesus observed the night before He died and give us a closer look at the very Jewish life He led.
