Palm Sunday 2014 was marked with rainy weather and some changes to the usual way of doing things, but the rain did not dampen spirits at LCH.

Both morning worship services begin in the Hörmann Courtyard with the blessing of palms and a short homily, but instead of processing around the church building, the congregation processed around the Nave before taking their seats for the rest of worship.

Members of the congregation joined together for a dramatic presentation of the Passion Gospel from Matthew. At right, Sylvia Hormann-Alper (at the lectern) reads the part of the evangelist, while Jim Sullivan, Peggy Anderson (in white, taking the role of Jesus), and Amanda Lippert take other parts.

Between morning worship services, the children led members during the annual Seder Meal in Isenberg Hall.

All are invited for worship at 7:30 pm on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday (Easter Vigil). See the Holy Week and Easter Worship page for details.
