RCL Lectionary Reflection for Palm/Passion Sunday, Year A, April 5, 2020.
This will definitely be a different kind of Palm Sunday and Holy Week as most of us lean into a new way of being church together yet dispersed. So friends, let’s be bold and raise (quite literally) our palms in praise this day before entering a week-long digital journey through Holy Week. (Photo: Wonderwoman0731, Creative Commons)

There is a story between the Palm Sunday and Easter “parades” that we do well not to miss. The work and witness of Holy Week beckons. Without fully experiencing Holy Week, we lose something valuable–a behind the scenes look at the real cost of our salvation and the dirty work it took to accomplish it. It is, indeed, an act of stewardship to devote our time and attention to this week. (Photo: Doug Bezaire & Susi Havens-Bezaire, Creative Commons)
Passion/Palm Sunday, Year A, April 17, 2011
Everybody loves a parade, right? Ever wonder who picks up all the trash when the last marcher is long gone? This week Christians are reminded that Jesus picks up the refuse and sins we leave scattered in our wake. He is with us for hurrahs and heartaches, parades and pain.
