The Triumph of Jesus

By Pastor Tim White

In the early months of 2014, 700,000 people from our community, the Seahawks 12’s, braved freezing temps to line the streets of Seattle to celebrate our first Super Bowl Championship ever. The Seahawks in the parade said it was one of the greatest moments of their lives.

Palm Sunday is a bigger celebration then even that momentous event. It is our moment to sing and pray Hosanna! God save us! Blessed he who comes in the name of the Lord! We do this not because God needs to hear this - we celebrate Jesus because we need to pray this. We will all be better off because we say this.

This is the beginning of Holy Week. Starting with a great celebration on Palm Sunday (April 10) and recognizing the Stages of the Cross on Good Friday (April 15) at 7pm.We will all meet together for a wonderful breakfast at 9:30am on Easter Sunday morning. Then the Easter drama starring our own little Violet and the reenactment of the first Easter. Our praise band will be better than ever. Former Lead singer of Santana, Leon Patillo will be with us, as will one of the top sopranos in the nation, Ellaina Lewis, who will be sharing her wonderful voice with us.

This year is one of the most important Easter Sundays in the history of our great caring network. Even though we have 50,000 people from all over the world worship with us on-line it’s time to invite our friends to come back to church and worship in person. It will determine the future of the church post covid. So come in person and bring a friend.

Your friend for the rest of my life,
Pastor Tim White

Let’s kick off a very important Holy Week by bringing our celebration to Palm Sunday this Sunday at 10:30am, in the sanctuary or on-line with You Tube, Facebook or the church Apps.
