Holy Week

With the celebration of Palm/Passion Sunday this week, we have entered into Holy Week, the final days before Jesus' death - and resurrection. All are welcome to come to a service of Communion and Stations of the Cross on Maundy Thursday at 7:00 p.m., as well as our Easter celebration this Sunday at 10:00 a.m. (Pancake Breakfast begins at 8:00 a.m.; see below for details).

In addition, Holy Week is a good time to reflect thoughtfully on scripture and the steps of Jesus. If you are looking for daily readings or prayers, I invite you to visit the following:

Sacred Space: the prayer site run by the Irish Jesuits.

CRI/Voice.Institute: Biblical and theological resources for growing Christians, based in the Wesleyan tradition. In addition to the introduction to/explanation of Holy Week linked above, this site also has a schedule of suggested daily readings, adapted from the Book of Common Prayer, and another schedule from the Revised Common Lectionary.

Lenten Reflections from the Upper Room: Note the lectionary scripture readings on the right side of the screen.
