This year we get to celebrate Holy Week in person. Please be prudent with your personal health decisions, but if you can, consider joining us to accompany Jesus through his passion and resurrection. From Palm Sunday through Holy Thursday and the last supper into Good Friday, when we walk with Jesus the way of the cross, we are offered a unique annual opportunity to re-examine the direction of our lives and values. The wisdom of the traditional rituals is that experiencing them together as a community of faith, hope, and love we can transform our hearts and minds, turning away from darkness and emptiness towards light and wholeness. Daring to die with Jesus and enter the tomb together may we also accompany him into resurrection and new life this Easter. Click here for our Holy Week schedule.
Let us pray also for our world and for all God’s children so in need of healing and peace.
