What to Expect

Christians are called to love our neighbors—healing the sick, feeding the hungry, welcoming the stranger, and honoring the dignity of every child of God. On Palm Sunday, March 29, 2026, Christians across the country will stand together against authoritarianism and white Christian nationalism, rejecting a politics rooted in greed, cruelty, and oppression. As Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey—symbolizing humble, just leadership that cares for the poor and vulnerable—we will follow his example and embody the heart of our faith. Join us from 3-5pm at Terry Schrunk Plaza in downtown Portland as we proclaim that love of God and love of neighbor is the way forward.

Together, we join thousands of Christians around the country in witness to the violent power of Empire, just as Jesus did when he entered Jerusalem on a humble donkey.

We honor the truth of Palm Sunday

Christians stand for loving our neighbors. We stand for healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and welcoming the stranger.  We stand for telling the truth and honoring the dignity and worth of every child of God.  On Palm Sunday, March 29th 2026, Christians across the country will stand up to the rise of authoritarianism and white Christian nationalism.  We will stand against the politics of greed, cruelty, and oppression by continuing to show the country that our central commandments, to love God and love our neighbors, is our way forward.  

On the day Christians celebrate as Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem in opposition to the greed, cruelty, and oppression of the Roman Empire on a donkey, a symbol of a just, humble leader who cares for the poor, the hungry, the sick, and the stranger. Christians will follow Jesus and embody the heart of our faith on Palm Sunday 2026.  We will draw a contrast to the values guiding the actions of the current administration, as we embody and celebrate our love for God and love for our neighbors, regardless of where we come from or what we look like. 

We proclaim a faith that centers love for our neighbors and rejects a politics rooted in greed and cruelty. To be a Christian is to choose love. Join us from 3-5pm at Terry Schrunk Plaza in downtown Portland as we embody that love and celebrate the heart of our faith on Palm Sunday!
