SALEM'S APPERSON DRIVE BRIDGE REPLACEMENT WORK SET TO START NEXT WEEK
Staging and initial work will begin next Tuesday on June 24.
Please pay attention to posted signage and directions as we approach this start date. Detours will be in place once construction starts, but use the weeks leading up to this lengthy construction period to work on an alternate route that avoids the area. Thanks in advance for your patience. This is a 16-month-long project.

Palm Sunday. The Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ. Large Passover crowds surrounded Jesus, shouting "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" (Matthew 21:9, ESV).
By that time the commotion was spreading through the entire city. Many of the Galilean disciples had earlier seen Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead. Undoubtedly they were spreading the news of that miracle.
The Pharisees, who were jealous of Jesus and afraid of the Romans, said: "'Teacher, rebuke your disciples.' He answered, 'I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.'" (Luke 19:39-40, ESV)

The Bible reveals that when Jesus entered Jerusalem, Immediately following this great time of celebration in the ministry of Jesus, he begins his journey to the cross. So ask yourself, Who is Jesus for you? Is he someone whom you want to satisfy your selfish wants and goals, or is he Lord and Master who gave up his life to save you from your sins?

Palm Sunday. The Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ. Jesus told them to look for a donkey tied by a house, with its unbroken c**t next to it. Jesus instructed the disciples to tell the owners of the animal, that "The Lord has need of it." (Luke 19:31, ESV)
When the men found the donkey, they brought it and its c**t to Jesus, and placed their cloaks on the c**t.
In his path into the city, people threw their cloaks and palm branches on the ground on the road before him.
