3 Special Palm Sunday Events

9:45am Expressions of the Cross / Auditorium, Youth Center, and Community Room

You’ll want to be in your seat at 9:45am! So, arrive early.

These three expressions will take place promptly at 9:45am and 10:20am. This will allow you to attend two of the three expressions.

1. The Lamb of God
Live Painting and Music in the Auditorium

Lyrics and music performed live by Lincoln Mick as Rachel Fanning brings colors to life on canvas. Listen and watch as these two invite you into a visual and audible artistic expression about the One who changed the world…Jesus of Nazareth.

Questions for reflection with a friend:
Was there a lyric from one of the songs that grabbed your attention? When did you realize what was being painted? How would you describe what you saw and heard to someone who wasn’t there?

2. Sounds of the Crucifixion
An Immersive Audible Experience in the Youth Center

Close your eyes and listen as the voices and sounds of the final moments of Jesus’ life fill the darkened room. Let your imagination guide you into what it might have been like to have been there that day…the day He was crucified.

Questions for reflection with a friend:
Was there a sound, voice, or moment you didn’t understand? Was there a specific moment (a voice or a sound) you can’t seem to unhear? Why do Christians focus on something so gruesome?

3. Simon of Cyrene: The day I saw differently
A Monologue in Community Rooms
Written by Stan Smith, performed by Harrison Akers

Simon had traveled a long way to be in Jerusalem that day. He was expecting to celebrate the Passover. He was not expecting to carry a cross and then learn that the cross was meant for Jesus. Listen to a thought-provoking monologue from the perspective of Simon of Cyrene as he describes a day that changed him and the world forever.

Questions for reflection with a friend:
What did you know about the story of Simon of Cyrene before this? What did you hear that you are wondering about? If you had been in Simon’s shoes that day, how would that event have changed your life from that moment on?
