Virtual Palm Procession Tutorial

Do you remember how beautiful and meaningful it was to see each other’s faces during our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service? And how wonderful it was to be able to include family members from a distance who weren’t able to travel to be with us for the holiday? Well, we are going to do something similar for the Palm Processional on March 28.

Our Mission and Outreach team, with help from our Youth Leader, Becky Wisted, will be doing their best to deliver a special gift to each household the week of March 15. This gift will include a palm branch.

Here’s where you come in: you are invited to make a short video of yourself (you can have someone else film you) waving your palm branch back and forth! Include a video for every member of your family! Add any friends you want! This time, however, we want you to film in portrait mode, (that means up and down, not sideways) then send it to Tori via this Dropbox link no later than March 23 so that we can create a Palm Processional for our worship on Palm/Passion Sunday.
