As we enter into the Holiest of Weeks, I invite you to join me in prayer. I also encourage you to read the Scriptures of this week which bring us from the Meal in the Upper Room to the Garden of Gethsemane and, finally, to the Cross.

You are also welcome to join us for Maundy Thursday Tenebrae Service at 7:30pm and Good Friday Quiet Mediation from 12-3pm. Remembering the significance of these days lead us to experience the profound joy of Easter morning.

Lord Jesus Christ,
in this sacred and solemn week
when we see again
the depth and mystery of your redeeming love,
help us to follow where you go,
to stop where you stumble,
to listen when you cry,
to hurt as you suffer,
to bow our heads in sorrow as you die,
so that, when you are raised to life again,
we may share in your endless joy. Amen.
