Holy Week - The Week That Changed the World
Holy Week at New Covenant Church of Philadelphia is a sacred journey through the defining moments of the Christian faith.
Beginning with Palm Sunday, moving through the solemn reflection of Good Friday, and culminating in the celebration of Resurrection Sunday, each gathering invites believers to remember Christ’s sacrifice and rejoice in His victory over death.
We invite you to join us as we behold Christ and celebrate the hope found in the resurrection.
Palm Sunday
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week and commemorates Jesus’ triumphant yet humble entry into Jerusalem. Riding on a donkey, He fulfilled the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9 and was welcomed by crowds who recognized Him as King.
Join us on March 29 at 9:30 AM as we lift our palms in celebration, honor Christ our King, and prepare our hearts for the sacred journey to the cross and resurrection.
