Lent Devotion Week 6
“Holding on to Holy Week”
by Rev. Sandy Ward

"Holy Week is the most sacred week in the church year. Yet we come to church on Palm Sunday, celebrate the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem with a palm parade and hosannahs, and tend to forget the rest of the story. Next Sunday will be Easter, another day of celebration because Jesus has risen from the dead. What happens in between the two Sundays is sometimes too gruesome and heartwrenching to think about.

But there is power in claiming Jesus' Holy Week story . . .

Lent Devotion Week 4
"A Glowing Sign"
by Rev. Sandy Ward
"If you drive through any city with an older downtown, you have a good chance of spotting a neon 'Jesus Saves' sign. I especially like the ones that are in the shape of a cross, where the first S in 'Jesus' serves as the first S in 'Saves'. Those signs represent a vintage hopefulness. The neon glows at night, like a beacon of light in darkness.
'Jesus saves' is a present tense reality. It doesn’t say Jesus will save - as in sometime in the future . . ."
