Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, marks the story of Jesus entering the city of Jerusalem, greeted by crowds who waved palm branches and laid them down like a red carpet, welcoming him with joy and anticipation. For those of us in the United Methodist tradition, it’s a time to reflect on the longing for peace, justice, and healing in our world—and how that hope shows up in unexpected ways. Whether you're deeply rooted in a faith tradition or just curious about what these stories mean, Palm Sunday offers an invitation to explore themes of courage, compassion, and the power of humble leadership.
