Entering Holy Week with Palm Branches and Open Hearts
Palm Sunday 2026 at Community Presbyterian Church Cambria (CPCC) is a special invitation to enter Holy Week with hearts focused on Jesus, the Servant King who loves us to the very end. This Palm Sunday service in Cambria, CA continues our “Road to Resurrection” journey as we remember Christ’s triumphal entry and prepare for the cross and the empty tomb.
Palm Sunday Worship Highlights at CPCC

Postlude: “Arabesque No. 1” — Judy Robertson (arr. Debussy)
CPCC has a unique postlude tradition: many worshipers choose to remain seated and listen quietly to the closing music as an act of reflection and worship, while others are free to exit when needed.
Sermon Focus: “Love to the End” (John 13)
The Palm Sunday sermon, “Love to the End,” is rooted in John 13:1–17 and 31–3, where Jesus washes His disciples’ feet on the night before His crucifixion. In this powerful moment, He shows what humble, self-giving love looks like in action.
“Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.” — John 13:1
As we begin Holy Week at Community Presbyterian Church Cambria, this message calls us to follow Christ’s example of servant-hearted love in our homes, our church, and our wider community. For those seeking a Palm Sunday church service on the Central Coast, CPCC offers a Christ-centered, Scripture-rich gathering focused on Jesus’ love and sacrifice.
