Palm Sunday

If your church doesn't make much of Palm Sunday, you might consider just once attending one that does. For an in-home celebration, read Mark 11:1-11 together.

Get a small multi-branched tree limb, paint it white. Decorate it with colorful bows and ornaments such as eggs and butterflies, which symbolize new life and resurrection. Place eight plastic eggs on the tree that are numbered 1 through 8. Inside each of the eggs place a passage of Scripture to be read for each of the eight days of Holy Week, beginning with Palm Sunday.
