Welcome

Our Lenten Journey

The crazy snows of this winter are behind us and as I turn the calendar page Easter is suddenly right in front of us.  It seems to happen this way for me each year even as I plan and prepare for Easter it surprises me when suddenly it’s that time.  I almost wonder if this is how it was for Jesus’ disciples. Everything pointed towards what we call Holy Week and Jesus even taught and reminded them that the time was approaching and still the events of that week were not understood or anticipated.

Each Palm Sunday we celebrate with the palms and our singing Hosanna, but do we realize that Jesus coming into Jerusalem was actually to face trial and death.  On Maundy Thursday as we celebrate the Lord’s Supper do we remember the pain Jesus was feeling as he was truly saying goodbye and preparing himself for the cross.  Easter morning is so beautiful with the trumpets and the singing as we celebrate the resurrection, but do we remember that those closest to Jesus were struggling to figure out his story even as it played itself out before them.

As we complete our Lenten journey this year, I challenge you to not only focus on yourself and your relationship with Jesus, but also the story of the historical Jesus and what this means for each one of us. Below is our schedule for Holy Week. I hope to see you along the path to the empty cross and empty tomb.
