Dear Christians,
We launch into Holy Week tomorrow! Palm Sunday is also Passion Sunday. Why did Jesus enter into Jerusalem? Why was He hailed with “Hosanna!”? The answers to these questions are totally relevant for us today. Do we really know the significance of the “green wood” for the sake of those of us very aware of our “dry wood”? Do we know how to shout “Hosanna!”?
Let us gather to receive the Gospel proclaimed and to receive the Body and Blood of the Green Wood tomorrow morning…let us receive His life; the life which permeates His people: all of you!
This is Palm Sunday! This is Passion Sunday! Holy Week is upon us! Let us gather!

3 quick notes:
1) Google expanded spam service last Wednesday and it has effected the Lenten devotionals, not only by virtue of bulk mail, but also regarding pre-set type. I’m working on a solution. Sorry for the interruption. Please go to Higherthings.org to access devotions.
2) We are taking memorial and thanksgiving orders for Easter Lilies. Please fill out a form tomorrow morning, or send me your requests for memorials and/or thanksgiving via my email: rev.dr.espinosa@gmail.com We are asking for $15.00 per lily to cover the cost of the flower + some profit to support the youth group.
3) Ray Hulett is trying to organize our group going to the FREE Catechism Convocation on Saturday, April 9th. Please contact him at dragonsoflore@hotmail.com This will also help us report to the conference how many they should expect from our congregation.
Thank you and I hope to see you in God’s house tomorrow morning!
In Jesus’ Love,
Pastor Espinosa
