Holy Week 2026
As we enter Holy Week, we step into the most sacred days of the Christian year — a profound journey through Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection. Each day carries its own meaning, inviting us to reflect, pray, and prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter. Below is a brief look at what each day represents, along with the services and events offered throughout the week.
Palm Sunday – The Triumphal Entry
Sunday, March 29 · Services at 8:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, when we remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Crowds welcomed Him with palm branches and shouts of “Hosanna!” — a moment that ushers us into the paradox of joy and sorrow that marks the week ahead.
Join us for worship as we bless palms and recall this powerful moment in the Gospel.
