Celebrating Palm Sunday at Home

Tuesday, March 31, 2020

Palm Sunday is going to feel different this year.  We will not be together at church waving palms and singing “Hosanna.”  But you can still participate in this special Sunday of the church year.

Here is an activity for people of all ages that you can do to prepare for the on-line service on Sunday:

Make your own palm branch! 

  1.  Create a palm branch using 1-inch wide green strips of paper for the leaves. Glue the leaves to a wooden paint stick.  Write the following on the leaves:  “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”  Matthew 21:9

4.  Get creative!  Make your own palm branch any way you like!
