Palm Sunday is a collision of emotions as “Hosannas” give way to “Crucify Him,” with the journey between those two extremes being the subject of many a sermon and Bible study lesson. This past Sunday, tween parishioners led us on this journey, with theatrical storytelling across seven stations, a “pilgrimage” from the church to the churchyard to Trinity Commons, and back again, bringing scenes from the Passion story to life for family and friends.
With young children, rather than dwelling on physical suffering, death, belief, and miracles in a general way, the story of Mary, Martha, and Jesus, and their shared love for Lazarus, allows us to talk about love and loss, and “unbinding” all the things that keep us from loving as deeply and openly as these four friends.
Listen as the Rev. Michael Bird takes you through the past and present of our music program and be transported, inspired, and changed by the community of talented musicians who call Trinity home.
