Palm Sunday Path
https://www.wichurches.org/palmsundaypathmadison
The Palm Sunday Path is a growing movement of church leaders and faith communities who believe now is the time for Christians to stand up to rising authoritarianism and white Christian nationalism — by following Jesus more deeply.
On Palm Sunday, Christians across denominations will gather for public, prayerful action. Carrying palms from morning worship, we will walk together around Capitol Square, embodying a different vision of power — the way of humility, mercy, and courageous love.
Anchored in the Matthew 25 call to feed the hungry, heal the sick, and welcome the stranger, we follow Jesus to the seat of power to witness to Christ’s reign of justice, peace, and shared belonging.
The gathering will follow a simple liturgical flow:
Gathering & Opening Prayer
Confession & Commitment
Procession with song, scripture, and shared ritual
Blessing & Sending
Grounded in worship and open to all who long to follow Jesus in the work of healing the world, this gathering proclaims Christ’s power of love, solidarity, compassion, and peace.
Following Christ’s inclusive call — across genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, nations of origin, abilities, worship styles and traditions — all are welcome on the path.
Please bring:
Palm branches from your morning worship
Comfortable walking shoes
Signs reflecting Christ’s message of love, hope, peace, and inclusion
Organized by faith leaders and community partners across Wisconsin
Join for a Pre-Event "Songs of Hope, Songs of Resistance - Community Singing Gathering" to learn songs for the Palm Sunday Event on March 13 at 5:30pm
