Palm Sunday is not just Palm Sunday; it is more properly Palm/ Passion Sunday. That slash is important. It is a reminder that there is risk involved in taking the side of the marginalized. There is danger in trying to upset the status quo. And just when you think you?ve won your point and gathered your crowd, you discover you are alone again.

THE WORD FOR TODAY "We Have Been Here Before!" Dr. Sher r y L. Daniels, Lead Pastor ~~~~~ INVITATION TO CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRY THROUGH TITHES AND OFFERINGS By:Rev. Dr. Ken Sloane Director of Stewardship & Generosity, Discipleship Ministries, The United Methodist Church Almighty and everlasting God, as we br ing our gifts and lay them at your altar, we remember the crowds in Jer usalem who laid their cloaks on the road, shouting ?Hosanna? as Jesus passed. We know they were looking for a Messiah who was different from who you sent Jesus to be ? not one of political power and militar y might, but one who came in compassion and mercy to heal, love, and save. Search our hear ts that we might be confident that the Messiah for whom we long is the one you know we need ? Jesus Chr ist, your anointed one, in whose name we pr ay. Amen.(Mark 11:1- 11) BLESSING AND SENDING FORTH Go in peace. ?No, Not One? By:Johnson Oatman, Jr./ George C. Hugg

Please remember to be faithful stewards and take care of your tithes and offering to our church. We have several ways in which to do so, but why not try something different at least one time. Since many of us have been away from the church for so long, just drive out to the church and bring your tithes and offering and put it in our secured mailbox. It?s nothing like coming on the church grounds; it gives you a different feeling. Come meditate and say a prayer. Yes, you can do this anywhere, but come to the church, sit in your vehicle, or in our picnic area, or our Place of Healing , but just step foot on the grounds, and pay your church a visit; and see how you feel, you?ll be glad that you did. Please note that we have added fund lines for the "Food Pantry" and "Sacrifical Offering" in Fund 2
