Hosanna in the Highest

"All Glory, Laud, and Honor. . ." Today is Palm Sunday and the kids did great participating in the church service. First, though, Oliver's Sunday School class re-enacted Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Each child took turns being King Jesus riding on the donkey while the other kids placed their coats down and waved their palm branches. (Oliver is wearing the crown in this picture, and Russ was a very good sport as the donkey. He even continued as the donkey for all of the other 2-year olds--what a good man!)
Oliver and Daddy hanging out in his classroom after the lesson was done.
Then it was time for church. The kids all got the real palms and prepared for the processional. Wait, where did Calvin go??
Oh, there he is!
Oliver wasn't sure what to think about the palm branch. . . He basically dismembered his poor branch rather than wave it.
Getting ready to go!
After church, there was a potluck and the kids sang a song they had been practicing. Doesn't it look like Calvin is really doing a nice job singing?!? (I think he's the only one out of this crew that was making any noise at all; not sure if that's good or bad, however.)
With Palm Sunday, Holy Week begins. Despite the busyness of life, may you all have time to reflect on what this week means.
