Each year, on Palm Sunday, the older children of the Church School present a drama of “What Happened to Jesus” from the waving of palms to peeking into the empty tomb. This takes the younger children and the congregation on a “Jounrney Through Holy Week”. The drama is set up in stations depicting the events of Holy Week. The children wear prayer shawls with pockets. After they leave each station they are give a concrete symbol to help them remember that part of the story.
