oin Rev. Grace Wulff as she gives us a reflection for Palm Sunday. “Are we almost there yet?” We smile at that sentence, for we might remember ourselves as children on what seemed like a long trip and we would be asking “Are we almost there?” What was it like for Jesus to hold the tensions He has to that Holy Week.

End or Beginning - Joe Bridi - Psalm 103
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! The author of the psalm calls upon his soul and all that is within him to offer thanks and praise to God.
