April 2nd, 2023, 10:00 a.m., 
​Palm Sunday Worship 
​LIVE STREAM ​& IN-PERSON

 This worship experience will begin at 10:00am on the NSUMC website @ www.nsumc.com  and in-person.  The Palm Sunday service commemorates Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem which is mentioned in all four canonical Gospels.

Holy  Week is unlike any  other week in the Christian calendar. On this day we will celebrate Palm Sunday, Jesus’   joyous entry into Jerusalem. But we will also turn to the events that followed,   walking through the moments that led up to Jesus’ arrest. We’ll do this as if   journeying day by day, because just like our lives, holy week happened day by day.   In our service, we will incorporate the tradition of midrash. Midrash is an ancient   Jewish tradition that weaves together the art of storytelling and the truth of 
scripture, inviting us to imagine and wonder about the details that exist between   the lines. During the service you will hear from five voices: a woman who witnessed Jesus   flip the tables in the temple, a Pharisee, the woman with the alabaster jar who   anointed Jesus’ feet in Bethany, Judas, and one of Jesus’ disciples in the garden of   Gethsemane, where Jesus was arrested. As you hear these stories read aloud, we  will  invite you to lean in. Imagine yourself there. Feel the truth of this narrative—for it   was a holy week, and it was a hard week. 

This special Passion Sunday worship service, will be followed at 11:00 am by our UWF bake sale!  Come shop for your Easter sweets!
