I AM THE RISEN CHRIST!
Our Palm Sunday  
gathering was lead in music by our choir. The prior Sunday, Pastor Phil prepped us by  sharing about The Triumphal Entry of Jesus. Jesus rode into Jerusalem that day nearly 2000 years ago, being worshiped and honored in the way He should have been!

Our choir lead our worship of Jesus with readings and singing. One of the highlights of the morning was a moving story from the famous Corrie Ten Boom, we get a graphic depiction of God's powerful Gospel and His Grace.

 

Thanks to all who sang and served us in proclaiming Christ!
