Palm Sunday Blessing of the Palms in Bronson Park
Join us for a joyful and spirit‑filled community gathering of Kalamazoo‑area churches as we come together for a shared Palm Sunday Blessing of the Palms in the heart of Bronson Park.
This multi‑church celebration is a cherished moment when our congregations unite as one body—lifting our voices, raising our palms, and stepping together into Holy Week with hope, gratitude, and praise. Surrounded by the historic beauty of the park and the warmth of our shared faith, we will remember Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem and the welcome of a people longing for peace.
As the palm branches are blessed and shared among us, may the entire community feel the sweep of grace, the renewing breath of spring, and the joy of gathering as neighbors and friends.
Following the blessing, First United Methodist Church will host the Palm Sunday worship service and a Palm Sunday Brunch, and all are warmly invited to continue the morning in reverence, fellowship, and celebration.
Come and be part of this beautiful expression of unity, faith, and tradition.
All are welcome—just as you are.
