Holy Week

We recently heard of the Palm Sunday parade welcoming Jesus as he rode in to Jerusalem on the young donkey. We heard many voices in this parade. Even if voices were silenced, the stones would cry out! We are to be a voice in unexpected places...those silent places. We are challenged to consider if we are a stone being asked to speak?

God's purpose will be fulfilled...nothing will stop it! God will be heard loud and clear! We have reached the darkest part of this road with Jesus. Do we abandon Him out of fear? Do we betray Him out of greed? Do we fall asleep when He asks us to stay awake and pray? Do we wash our hands of responsibility in order to keep things peaceful?

Consider walking with Jesus and each other in this dark hour...
Holy Week services begin after a 6:00pm meager meal of soup and bread, Thursday, April 1 (service at 7pm)
Good Friday, April 2 at 7pm we will gather for a brief service reflecting on the emotions of those who witnessed Christ's crucifixion.

Sunrise Easter Sunday service at 7am will be held in our outdoor chapel and lead by the youth in the community.
Easter Celebration service begins at 10:45am in the sanctuary.
