Blessing of Palms This blessing can be heard coming from a long way off. This blessing is making its steady way up the road toward you.... This blessing blooms in the throats of women, springs from the hearts of men, tumbles out of the mouths of children. This blessing is stitched into the seams of the cloaks that line the road, etched into the branches that trace the path, echoes in the breathing of the willing colt, the click of the donkey’s hoof against the stones. Something is rising beneath this blessing. Something will try to drown it out. But this blessing cannot be turned back, cannot be made to still its voice, cannot cease to sing its praise of the One who comes along the way it makes. Jan Richardson from Circle of Grace: A Book of Blessings for the Seasons WE INVITE YOU TO PICK UP PALMS AT THE CHURCH THIS WEEK OR CALL 369-3475 IF YOU WOULD LIKE PALMS DELIVERED TO YOUR HOME.

Please enjoy this Adirondack Community Chorus performance of The Crucifixion by John Stainer. It will also be broadcast on Flack Broadcasting on Good Friday at 6 PM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzC2qendE7E&t=26s

The three programs supported by One Great Hour of Sharing - Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, the Presbyterian Hunger Program, and Self-Development of People - all work in different ways to serve individuals and communities in need. From initial disaster response to ongoing community development, their work fits together to provide people with safety, sustenance, and hope. Niccolls will be taking up the OGH offering during the weeks of Palm Sunday and Easter. Look for envelopes and information on the Mission Corner Table or in bulletin and pews on Palm Sunday and Easter. Donations may be dropped in the offering on either Palm Sunday or Easter or returned to the church office. You may also donate on line at https://specialofferings.pcusa.org/make-a-g/gift-info/oghs/.
