Palm Sunday Divine Service
April 13 @ 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Join us this Palm Sunday at Saint Peter’s Lutheran Church in Door County as we celebrate Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
About Palm Sunday
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week and commemorates Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, where crowds welcomed Him with palm branches and shouts of “Hosanna!” This moment fulfilled ancient prophecy and revealed Jesus as the promised Messiah. Yet, even as the people celebrated, Jesus rode humbly on a donkey, signaling a kingdom of peace, not power. Palm Sunday invites us to reflect on the contrast between worldly expectations and God’s plan of salvation through the cross. It is a time to prepare our hearts for the suffering, death, and ultimate resurrection of Jesus, who brings true hope and eternal life.

About the Divine Service
The Divine Service usually begins with the confession of our sins. After we confess our sins, the pastor proclaims Christ’s forgiveness to us in Holy Absolution.
The Divine Service continues with hearing God’s Word through readings from Scripture and a sermon. After receiving God’s Word, we express our faith in God through the recitation of a creed (a statement of our beliefs), the giving of offerings, and prayer.
Then, we receive Christ’s mercy through the Sacrament of the Altar (Holy Communion). This is a very holy observation, and we believe that Christ unites Himself to us both bodily and spiritually through it.
We welcome visitors to attend Divine Service at Saint Peter’s Lutheran Church.
