The kids will lead worship this week. They’ll parade with palms to help us remember the story of Jesus entering Jerusalem for his final week. The crowds that day were full of joy and anticipation of who they hoped Jesus was. By week’s end, of course, Jesus died on a cross and was buried in a grave.

Sunday’s Coming ~ March 13, 2016

He called for her and the result was that she became pregnant. After orchestrating her husband Uriah’s death, David married Bathsheba and she soon gave birth to a son. …
