This Sunday won’t feel like a typical Palm Sunday.

Instead of palm branches and celebration, we’re stepping into something deeper.

We’re calling it Lamb Selection Sunday — a powerful, immersive service that traces the story from Israel’s slavery in Egypt… to the Passover… to Jesus entering Jerusalem on the very day families were choosing their lambs.

On Lamb Selection Day Jesus entered Jerusalem.

Not just as a King.

But as the Lamb.

This Sunday, we’ll slow down enough to see it.

Our Good Friday service is designed to be immersive and contemplative.

Throughout the evening, we’ll move through the story of Jesus’ final hours with moments of Scripture, silence, worship, and reflection. Rather than simply watching the story unfold, we’ll engage our senses, our prayers, and our hearts along the way.

Because we need to slow down and sit with the weight of the cross before we rush to the joy of resurrection.

This is not a service we simply attend—it’s a story we step into.

Celebrate Easter Sunday with us at Columbia! Whether Easter is a deeply meaningful tradition for you or you’re curious about what it all means, you are warmly welcome here.

Our worship services will be joyful and celebratory, filled with music, hope, and the story at the heart of the Christian faith: Jesus’ resurrection, the great gift God offers to the world. Come a little early to enjoy special treats from our café, and then join us for worship, at 9:30am or 11am.
