A Sacred Beginning to Holy Week

Joint Palm Sunday Devotional

The Los Altos Ward and St. Matthew United Methodist Church recently gathered in a beautiful musical celebration to mark the beginning of the Easter season.

The evening featured inspired messages from Bishop Don Mortensen and Pastor Ann Lyter, who shared insights on the profound hope found in Jesus Christ. The program was enriched by a variety of musical contributions—including choir, solo, and instrumental performances—offered by members of both congregations.

The event served as a moving reminder of the unity found in faith. As we worshiped and sang together, the core message of Easter—peace, hope, and redemption through the Savior—bridged our communities as one.

We are grateful to all who participated in this sacred start to Holy Week.
