Fr. Yossi led a beautiful Palm Sunday Holy Communion service this past Sunday. The service started with him blessing the palms and then leading the congregation as we processed around the church. The procession was followed by the Holy Communion Service. Fr. Yossi's sermon contemplated what does it feel like to know you have one week left to live. Jesus knew that on the original Palm Sunday. He knew the Jewish authorities would now consider Him dangerous. He knew the disciples who marched proudly beside Him on Palm Sunday would abandon Him. Please find the complete service including the sermon at the following link:
Thank you Fr. Yossi for the beautiful service! Thank you Br. Scott for serving with Fr. Yossi.

After services we enjoyed a wonderful lunch provided by Teresa, Diane, Lin, and Fr. Yossi. They served two types of lasagna, Caesar's salad, homemade sour dough bread, fruit salad, chocolate pecan pie, rum cake, and chocolate cake!
What a feast!
Also, Rose Marie and Teresa made sure we had plenty of Hot Cross Buns!
Delicious Food! Wonderful Company! Blessed Day!
