Palm Sunday 2026: Palms, Praise… and a New Piano!
Posted By RichC on March 29, 2026
Palm Sunday brings to mind the joyful noise that filled the streets of Jerusalem 
as crowds welcomed Jesus with palm branches and shouts of praise. One of my favorite verses captures that excitement perfectly:
“The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, ‘Hosanna to the Son of David!’ ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ‘Hosanna in the highest heaven!’”
— Matthew 21:9 (NIV)
This year, our family has our own little reason to celebrate a “grand” entrance — the Oostra’s piano was delivered!
On Friday, Katelyn and Drew took delivery of their beautiful Boston grand piano and are transforming their “off the foyer” home office to a music room 
(déjà vu — very familiar).. After practicing on a keyboard, our granddaughters now have the real thing — an exceptional baby grand that looks right at home – we can’t wait to hear them play, as well as Katelyn.
Music has always been part of our family’s story — from my Grandmother Corbett on the organ, Mom Howard and daughter Chris exceptional on the piano, to Drew mom and Brenda (violin and piano) and our antique Brambach baby grand that helped Katelyn (and Taylor) learn to play piano when they were kids.
Have a blessed Palm Sunday. 🌿 May your days be filled with praise — and a little piano music too! 🎹
