A New Heart for the Valley Week 6, Day 1

A New Heart for the Valley Week 6, Day 1

A GENERATIONAL HEART

PALM SUNDAY

LUKE 19:29-40

 

 

Palm Sunday is such a joy. Our children lead a procession and re-enacting Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem at the beginning of his last week. Children and adults of all ages together, making and sharing a moment.

 

We live at a time that usually tends to separate the generations and to encourage people to live in cohorts divided by age. But the first Palm Sunday was intergenerational, and so the church needs to be as well!

 

 

Why is intergenerational worship and life important?

 

 

FAMILY TIME

What do children have to offer other generations?

What do babies?

What do teenagers?

Young adults?

Mid-lifers?

Seniors?
