Palm Sunday Bible class at East Side Church of Christ meant we were going to get use rubber cement. That liquid adhesive smelled so good, slathering it onto the brush was in itself a religious experience. My fellow little Christiansin- the-making and I liberally applied the glue on the construction paper. The end result was a scene of cutout Jesus, the donkey, and the blades of green grass, our “palm leaves” to show God’s son making his triumphant way into Jerusalem.
