Note: Palm Sunday falls on the same day as the Knoxville Marathon this year. Please see info on recommended routes below and please be sure to leave early and allow yourself extra time for parking and travel. Look forward to seeing you!
11:00 am Worship Service in Sanctuary & by Livestream Here
“Hosannah! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!” Celebrate with us as we rejoice at Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem! Palm branches will be distributed to our children and Palm Sunday attendants for this special celebration. There will be our regular chapel service at 8:45 am and Palm Sunday service at 11 am in the sanctuary.
12:15 pm Resurrection Garden Activity
Please join us in the Fellowship Hall after the service to build a Resurrection Garden! This fun, interactive craft reminds us of Jesus’ final week leading up to the cross and how he burst through the tomb doors into resurrection life. A Holy Week daily devotional will accompany this craft. Children of all ages (with parental help) are welcome!
Info on Parking / Travel on Palm Sunday
The Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon is the same day as Palm Sunday on April 2, 2023. The race begins at 7:30 am. There will be increased traffic, crowds and emergency vehicles, and we recommend giving extra time to get to church that day.
Worshipers coming from south Knoxville/Island Home will need to come in on Henley St., take right turn on Church Ave, crossing Gay St. (closed for the race, but will have breaks in runners which will allow traffic through) and then enter through the tunnel to park, or you can turn left on State St. and access the P2 level from Clinch.
The State St. Garage will also be available; prepare to take a few minutes to find a spot there also.
Travelers from the West can still use James White Parkway off of I-40 and take the Cumberland Ave exit towards State Street; a right turn on State St will be permitted.
We are losing access to our parking on Central St at the P1 level, but the office has received confirmation that parking for Palm Sunday will also be available in the gated lot across from the church, at the corner of State St. and Church Ave.
Whatever route you choose to come and worship with us on Palm Sunday, please allow yourselves extra time to arrive and find parking. Please call the church office with any questions at (865) 546-2531.
