Thank you for joining us for worship this week.
Today, we celebrate Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, and the day Jesus returned to Jerusalem - welcomed by the people as the promised Messiah - Hallelujah!
What they soon discover is that Jesus was much more than they expected.
I pray that your today's worship helps you move closer to Jesus and we are able to offer you some next steps to grow in your faith as we discover Jesus is still more than expected.
