“The Uprising of Partnership”
Our hymnal contains many songs that gave hope to enslaved people. One of the most well known ones is Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. It is a song that people forced to pick cotton in the heavy heat of the deep south day in and day out would sing to give themselves hope. One day God would send his chariot down to take their burden away.

I imagine the Apostle Paul might have been singing a song such as this as he sat in his jail cell with his companion, Silas. Why were they in jail, you ask? For removing a curse that caused a woman to be enslaved. But their work of liberation didn’t end there. Their witness to their faith led to the baptism of many of their cell mates and even the jailer and his family.

In a world where so many are yearning for freedom – freedom from overdemanding jobs, overwhelming bills, burdens from our past, and worries about our future – how might God be calling us to be partners in the work of liberation? Join us for worship this Sunday morning at 10a as Mike Tironi explores the Uprising in Partnership.

Sunday Worship - Palm Sunday
2022-04-10 10:00 - 11:30 | First United Methodist Church of Blairstown, 10 Stillwater Road, Blairstown, NJ, 07825, United States
“I love a parade, the tramping of feet, I love every beat I hear of a drum. I love a parade, when I hear a band I just want to stand and cheer as they come.”
How many of you love parades? As a child, I remember the excitement I felt every Fourth of July in my home town. Each year, people would come from all over to celebrate our nation’s independence with bands, fire trucks, military vehicles, and local groups. Afterwards, everyone gathered in the town park to enjoy food and games. It was a great day to be a kid!
This Sunday, as we celebrate the beginning of Holy Week, we will hear about a different kind of parade celebrating a very different kind of freedom. Jesus’ march into Jerusalem wasn’t accompanied by trucks or bands or displays of military might, and yet the crowds couldn’t help but shout their cheers of “hosanna.”
What are we to make of Jesus’ parade of sorts? What was he marching for? What was he marching towards? Join us for worship this Sunday at 10 a.m. as we sing our “hosannas” and join Jesus in his Peace March into our lives.
