Celebration or Sorrow?

Lugarno Peakhurst Uniting Church https://lpuc.org.au

Welcome to our Palm Sunday worship on the 29th of March 2026. Today, we remember the day Jesus Christ entered Jerusalem, greeted with joy and celebration. It was a moment filled with excitement and hope. Yet we also know that this same crowd, within a few days, would cry out, “Crucify Him.” Palm Sunday holds both celebration and sorrow – joyful praise and the shadow of the cross. This was a significant moment in God’s plan – a time when people were invited to recognise who Jesus truly is. And today, we are given that same invitation. So as we gather, let us not only lift our voices in praise, but also open our hearts in faith. Let us move beyond words into genuine trust and obedience.
