Worship With Us! Palm Sunday, featuring trumpeter Seelan Manickam

This Palm Sunday, we step into a story that feels both ancient and strikingly present. In Gospel of Mark, Jesus enters Jerusalem not with spectacle or force, but on a borrowed colt—humble, unarmed, and surrounded by ordinary people crying out, “Hosanna! Save us!” It’s a parade unlike any other: not a display of power, but a movement of hope.

Alongside this scene, we hear Jesus’ sharp words from Gospel of Matthew, reminding us of “the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness.” These are not abstract ideals—they are the very heartbeat of the good news.

As Lent draws to a close, the question comes into focus: What will the good news inspire us to do? Will we stay on the sidelines, or will we join the parade—laying down what we have, stepping forward in faith, and embodying God’s justice and mercy in the world?

Come ready to be moved—not just in heart, but in action. Hosanna in the highest!

Come and worship with us on Sunday, March 29th, at 9:30am. During this Palm Sunday, as we welcome Rev. Karen Hodges, Interim Minister, to the pulpit. She will lead us in a service full of prayer, scripture, reflection, and inspiration.

No matter who you are, whom you love, or wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome at ACC, an open and affirming congregation.

Arrive early at 9:20am and enjoy our beautiful musical prelude. This week, our talented organist, Liz Carley, along with trumpeter Seelan Manickam, will delight us with beautiful music. Liz and Seelan will play “The Prayer of St. Gregory” and “The Palms,” which are favorites, plus a new piece.

Can't join us in person? You can also join us virtually through our livestream options: Livestream | Acton Congregational
