Churches all over the South Side are making final preparations for Holy Week and Easter. This Sunday is Palm Sunday, and some churches also are planning special events to mark that day.

First Presbyterian Church will present a dramatic performance of “The Weaver” Sunday at 7 p.m. The story follows the creator of a tapestry who watches his work unravel and must decide what to do about it.

The presentation includes modern dance and music by the church’s choir and orchestra.

The church also will host an art show connected with the event. The show, at 6 p.m., will precede the performance.

A light dessert will be served after the performance.

Admission for the event is $5 per person or $10 per family. For more information, call the church office at 747-1058.

The church is located at 318 S. Cedar.

There are several worship services scheduled during Holy Week at the Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, 127 E. 12th. There will be a 7 a.m. service daily from Monday through Friday in the cathedral’s All Saints Chapel. Morning prayer begins at 8:45 a.m. Monday through Friday in the church’s St. Peter’s Chapel.

Another service will be offered at 12:15 p.m. Monday through next Thursday in All Saints Chapel. For more information call the cathedral at 838-4277.
