Journey with Christ

Through Holy Week

From the triumphant entry on Palm Sunday, where Jesus was met at the city gates by followers, supporters, those hoping for a political king, to the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday, through the darkness of capture, condemnation, and crucifixion, the sorrowful sting of death, and the ultimate victory in resurrection. Come together to experience the powerful story of Holy Week.
