High Bridge Presbyterian Church celebrated Palm Sunday this past Sunday with the children marching in waving their palms to the hymn of “Hosanna, Loud Hosanna.” The entrance hall was decorated with beautiful palms. During the children’s sermon the pastor explained about the palms and they also collected noisy can offering. During the church offertory we received one great hour of sharing mission offering. High Bridge had several visitors for worship Sunday.
