We kick-off Holy Week today by celebrating Palm Sunday, followed by a non-traditional Good Friday service combining both Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, arriving at the empty tomb of Christ’s resurrection on Easter!

What is the significance and the importance of gathering in worship for Holy Week Services? Jesus makes his entrance into Jerusalem on a donkey, not a mighty horse like other kings, calling us into reflection about what it means to have a savior that is powerfully peaceful and confidently humble. Likewise, our combined Maundy Thursday and Good Friday service draws into focus through liturgical expression, the fulcrum point between hope and promise; the beginning moments of Holy Saturday when all seems lost. When the uncertainty of all things believed seems in question; hoping against hope that God is still at work beyond our belief and closer than our doubt in the liminal space of life and death. Casting a light so dim that its only radiance is God's promise of presence; the shallow breath of the Spirit before the dawn of a hoped-for new creation that only she can bring forth, welcoming the Son's rise, freeing us on Easter as a people made new, bound-less of sin and doubt to love, just as Christ has loved us.

Therefore, I invite you to our non-traditional Good Friday service at 6pm; joining me and other followers of Jesus into the intimacy of the Last Supper and Christ's final hours before 'it is finished' and he breathes his last.

Holy Week Blessings,
Pastor Peter
