Palm Sunday March & Rally for Justice & Love
March 29
2:00pm-4:30pm
State Capitol
On Palm Sunday, March 29, Mount Olivet will be joining thousands of siblings in Christ in a march and rally for justice and love where we will boldly proclaim what we are all about as followers of Jesus: loving our neighbor by feeding the hungry, caring for the sick, and welcoming the neighbor. Join this event after our 10:00am worship that day. We will share a light lunch and then take our palms to the Capitol for amazing music, inspiring messages, and prayer! Invite a friend or neighbor by sharing a postcard from the welcome area! Please let us know if you can come by registering HERE.

Order Easter Flowers by March 25
You are invited to help create Mount Olivet’s Easter Garden by donating Easter flowers in honor or memory of someone you love. These flowers will help fill our space with beauty as we celebrate the joy of the resurrection. This year, we will have two photo areas on Easter morning. In the Welcome Area, live plants will form an arched frame for photos, and in the Sanctuary, a second photo space with silk flowers will be arranged beside the large wooden cross. This allows those with plant sensitivities or allergies to participate comfortably. Thank you for helping us create a vibrant and welcoming Easter celebration!
Order Here by March 25!
In Person Worship Cancelled
The winter storm warning has recently been upgraded to a blizzard. The safety and well-being of our members, friends, guests, and staff is very important to us, and we have made the decision to cancel in person worship tomorrow, March 15, along with any other church activities on the calendar.
Our pastors and music director will lead us in a Zoom worship service at 10AM (from each of their homes), so we can still come together in community. A link for that service will be sent to members via email and text. Stay safe and warm!
Didn’t get the Zoom link? Email contact@moply.org, and the link will be sent to you by 10am Sunday morning.
