Rocky Road
In Luke’s version of Jesus entry into Jerusalem, Jesus tells his detractors that even if all the people stopped shouting Hosanna, the rocks would take up the cry. What’s with the talking rocks? This Palm Sunday we commune with the stones to find out.

The Disruptive Entry
All four gospels tell us that Jesus entered the Temple in Jerusalem, knocked over tables, released at least doves and perhaps other animals, and got pretty upset with the money changers. What’s all that about anyway? Good question.

Blind Bartimaeus
Jesus heals the blind in all four Gospels. This week we’ll return to Mark 10 to learn about the only one whose name we know, Bartimaeus. Each story has something different to teach us. What does the story of Blind Bartimaeus want us to understand?

Holy Week at Crawford
Sunday, March 24: Join us as we kick off Holy Week with our 4th annual Palm Sunday Parade, led by the Occasional Brass and Strings. We will meet at 9:30 a.m. in front of the church, where everyone will be invited to pick up some palms and join us on a joyful stroll through the neighborhood. The parade will end back at the church in time for our worship service at 10:00 a.m. where we will celebrate Palm Sunday and welcome new members to our congregation.
Thursday, March 28, at 7:00 p.m.: We will gather for a more somber service of Holy Communion and Tenebrae. During this service, we remember Christ’s betrayal, trial, and crucifixion through a series of scripture readings and hymns, while slowly extinguishing the light in our sanctuary. All are welcome.
Then on Sunday, March 31: We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate the miracle of Easter!
