Worship and Stewardship During Holy Week

April 3, 2020

Dear Friends,

Holy Week approaches—a Holy Week unlike any other. Here are some resources that have come to our attention in the Presbytery Office that might prove inspirational and helpful to congregations as we move together through this week.

The leadership of the PC(USA) has filmed a special Easter worship video at the Presbyterian Center. The link to view the video will be shared in several places when it is live. This article identifies different ways to use the video.

I pray God’s blessings upon each of the congregations of the Presbytery of New York City, upon our city, and upon God’s world. While this year’s celebration of Holy Week and Easter will differ dramatically from previous year’s, we will proclaim Christ is Risen! Thanks be to God. Amen.

The Rev. Robert Foltz-Morrison
