In every way Palm Sunday was a wonderful time to celebrate the goodness of God at First Presbyterian. We started off with a Breakfast planned by Parish Life with a speaker arranged by the Multicultural Team. The speaker was Heidi Hadsell, president of Hartford Seminary who spoke about Multiculturalism in Church and Society.

The historic sanctuary was beautiful as always, enhanced by live palm trees and two large Salvador Dali prints, one the last supper, the other the crucifixion. (I bought the eight foot live palms from BJ’s Discount Warehouse at the bargain price of $19.99 each) Choir and worshipers carried palm fronds and processed around the sanctuary singing “Hosanna, Loud Hosannas…” The choir sang “Ride on King Jesus” and “Sing Hosanna!”. Both were beautifully done. I thought I had a very good sermon which you can read on line. Carl Dudley was at both the breakfast and service, back at the Church for the first time in four months. Carl has been and continues to fight a very serious disease.
