Palm Sunday: The Parade of Hope

Get ready for a vibrant, high-energy morning as we celebrate Palm Sunday! This isn't just a historical reenactment; it’s a day to honor a vision of a world built on peace, justice, and radical inclusion. We wave our palms to remind ourselves that another way of living is possible—one where love is the highest authority.

At First Congregational Church of Bakersfield, our Palm Sunday service is a joyful invitation to join a community that puts "love in action." Whether you are looking for a spiritual home that celebrates your full identity or you just want to experience a little extra hope this week, we invite you to walk (and celebrate) with us. No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are a sacred part of this story. Come as you are, and let's fill the sanctuary with hope!
