Palms will be available at the church starting Monday, March 22. We’d invite not just kids, but families, singles, seniors—everybody—to pick up a palm and send a photo or video of yourself waving it to be included in a virtual parade. We will also deliver palms to those who received senior advent bags—and take a video or photo for you if that’s not something you’re able to do. Please don’t be shy—it’s such a blessing to see one another’s faces after a year apart.
If you’re out of town during the week before Palm Sunday don’t stress. People in Jesus’ time used palm branches because that’s what they had. We invite you to use any leafy branch you can find—real or artificial—to wave in a photo or video. Jessica Gordon will put together the video “parade” so please email her photos and videos (jessica.lynn.gordon@gmail.com) by Friday, March 26. Please bring these palms with you if you come to in person services on March 21—but more palms will be available. Weather permitting, we’ll have an outdoor palm parade in the grassy area behind the church. Whether you plan to attend in person services or watch at home, we invite you to the parade at 9:30 a.m. (between services). Please wear a mask even if you’ve been vaccinated, and practice social distancing. We’ve ordered extra palms this year and encourage everyone to share a palm frond or two with friends, family, and neighbors. Last year we loved seeing all the Trinity worshipers’ doors with palms decorating them, so please do that again—and send a photo of your door to the church office! |
During Holy Week, we invite Trinity kids—and any their friends—to decorate the sidewalk spaces between the parking lot and the church. If we run out of spaces, we’ll use the sidewalk in front of the church. Bring your own sidewalk chalk or use some from the church. Starting March 30, we’ll place containers of chalk by the main entrance (under the overhang). Watch the weather to make sure your creation lasts until Easter Sunday!
Weather-permitting, the choir will sing outside Trinity’s main entrance before the 10:30 a.m. service (exact time TBD). Again, whether you plan to come inside the sanctuary for a service or worship in your home, please join us to hear the choir outside and share Easter greetings. The flower cross will also be set up outside the main entrance if the weather is suitable so worshipers at both services, as well as those just stopping by that morning, will be able to add flowers to the cross. Flowers will be provided, but we encourage you to bring flowers from your yard or garden if you have any. Once the cross is covered, we’ll move it to the front of the church so that our neighbors and those driving by on Michigan Street can enjoy this symbol of Christ’s resurrection. |
Trinity will be virtual and in-person on Sundays.
