The Palm Sunday Path is a growing, ecumenical movement of church leaders that recognize now is the time for Christians to publicly witness to our Christian values as laid out for us by Jesus in Matthew 25. We will publicly and visibly discuss and advocate for these values of feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. We will call on every elected leader at every level - regardless of party - to work with us on policies that promote these values.

Together, we will join in with those in other upper Midwest states and across the country in a non-partisan path of action with multiple points of entry, roles, and room for everyone who holds these values.

The Palm Sunday Processional Worship will take place on Sunday, March 29th, 2026. It will begin at Trinity Lutheran Church (502 N 4th St, Bismarck) at 3:00pm. We will process to the steps of the ND State Capitol Building. An ecumenical worship service highlighting our values of feeding the hungry, caring for the sick, and welcoming the stranger will start at 4pm on the Capitol Steps. We look forward to seeing you there
