Entering Holy Week
This coming week, we reach the culmination of our Lenten journey as we enter Holy Week. There will be many opportunities to gather for worship and reflection (see below). We've also listed them on our website for ease of sharing with friends and neighbors. This can be a great time to reach out and invite others along. The stories of Holy Week walk us through the spectrum of human experience and emotion. Whoever we are and wherever we are on life's journey, this week reminds of God's deep love and commitment to us.
I look forward to beginning this holy trek with you on Sunday,
Pastor Jen
