Blessed Redeemer Palm Sunday, March 24 Join us this Palm Sunday as our Adult Choir presents Blessed Redeemer, a powerful Easter Musical prayerfully crafted to resonate with both believers and nonbelievers. Through music and message, this musical aims to evoke a profound sense of the cross's significance, inviting all to embrace the forgiveness made possible by Christ’s sacrifice and to trust in God’s divine plan, even when aspects of it may be beyond our understanding. We invite you to share this meaningful experience with your loved ones and friends, as together, we reflect on the transformative message of Easter. “My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to You, O God because You have redeemed me” Psalm 71:23
