Celebrate Palm Sunday at First Congregational. Be a part of the celebration as children enter waving palms in an exuberant processional march! The Chancel Choir under the direction of Jim Molina will perform an Easter Cantata. Just as our Christmas Cantata told the story of Jesus’ birth in song and narration, so too will our Easter Cantata tell the powerful story of the Passion of Jesus in his final days with us.

For the children – they will hear the resurrection story and participate in several interactive activities to celebrate Easter and learn more about Jesus during Sunday School.
