For the second year in a row, we’ll not be at church on Palm Sunday, and I won’t be in charge of the donkey.

Palm Sunday in Extraordinary Times

April 5, 2020 By Sarah Kinney Gaventa 1 Comment

I live in Austin, Texas, where, along with much of the country, I expect to remain under a “Shelter in Place” order during Palm Sunday. What a strange contradiction on a Sunday in which we would ordinarily march around the streets of the church, waving palm branches, and loudly singing, “Hosanna in the highest!”

Preparing for Holy Week at Home

April 2, 2020 By Allison Sandlin Liles 6 Comments

Palm Sunday will be here in just a few short days and I am not ready for it. I’m not ready for Holy Week as a priest, as a parent, or as an individual person trying to follow Christ. And yet, it’s coming.

Palm crosses are an outward and visible sign of the triumph of sacrifice and love.
