A journey to Jerusalem. Shouts of "Hosanna!" A last supper. Passover, reinterpreted. A betrayal. An arrest. A cross. Suffering and death. A resurrection. A new creation! Salvation.

Experience what God has done for you.

Since the time Israel entered the Promised Land, they celebrated God’s deliverance and victory on Palm Sunday. Pilgrims walked hundreds of miles to celebrate in Jerusalem. It was a party, a religious experience, a physical journey with a spiritual goal.

Take a pilgrimage this Palm Sunday. Walk to FOF. Yes, walk. Rain, snow, or shine. Post your starting location below or at the FOF Connect Center. Connect with others near you in a pilgrim party. Wear FOF clothes and colors.

Why do we walk on Palm Sunday? It’s not about walking for the sake of walking. It’s about tapping what Jesus experienced as he walked to Jerusalem.

Use the guide below to make the most of your walk. If you’re traveling solo, read, pray, and reflect to yourself. If traveling as a group, select someone in your party to lead each section. 

On the night he was betrayed, Jesus met in an upper room of a house with his disciples to share the Passover meal and prepare them for the battle to come.

This Maundy Thursday commune like Jesus did with a worship experience mirroring Jesus’ last supper. To experience the service fully, invite some friends and fast for the day.

In-person only at 6pm.

A service in darkness and shadow, retelling the story of Christ’s crucifixion. Relive the night Jesus gave his life for you.

Very early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to Jesus’ tomb. When they arrived, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
