Holy Week is a simple description of eight days of events which changed all of history and all humanity. the days from Passion Sunday (or Palm Sunday) through Easter include the welcoming Jesus as the (rightful) King of Kings, to His last supper with His disciples at Passover and His institution of the Lord's Supper (where He becomes the sacrificial Passover Lamb for humanity's salvation), to His betrayal by a disciple and friend, His illegal and sham of a trial before the chief priest, Pontius Pilate and Herod, and His humiliating and agonizing suffering and death to cover all the sins of the world, and then the climax of it all: His resurrection, freeing all from the power of death and the devil for all time!
But the immense high of Jesus' Resurrection cannot be fully enjoyed or understood unless there is the full understanding of the prior events and lows of that week. So make it a point to come and celebrate worship on Holy (or "Maundy) Thursday at 7:00 p.m., April 1, and Good Friday at noon and 7:00 p.m., April 2.
Of course, everything culminates in the Resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday, April 4! Please join us in this celebration. We will have a Son-rise worship at 6:30 a.m. as well as 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.
You will be blessed by these services and opportunities and you will bless us by your presence!
See you then!
