Holy Week

"Jesus walked that lonesome valley, He had to walk it by Himself..." and yet every year we journey through Lent and Holy Week, following the texts that tell us about Jesus' life and movement through Galilee, to Jerusalem, through the city, to the Cross, and, finally, to the newness of life at Easter. We remember his saving life, death, and resurrection, and we proclaim his Resurrection on Easter morning.

During this Holy Week may you find grace, and peace, and newness of life in and through Easter.

Anne LaMott writes that "we are Easter people in a Good Friday world". No matter what life is handing you right now, no matter what you are going through, Christ has brought newness of life and hope-- to you. And to the world. Amen.
