"Turning Home"
Palm Sunday Sermon
Join us this Palm Sunday as we celebrate Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and the beginning of Holy Week. This Sunday we will be taking a look at a small portion of text that is normally passed over when we talk about the Triumphal entry and Jesus' final days. Meet Jesus and Peter at the Last Supper and understand what Turning Home means.
