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.
Walk the Labyrinth
& Prayer Room Open all Week
You are invited to deepen your prayer time with God. Leading up to Holy Week and throughout Holy Week you are invited to Room 312 to walk and pray using a labyrinth. This is a prayer practice that is unique to some, and an annual spiritual practice to others. Everyone is welcome to walk and pray the labyrinth. You may come whenever the building is open for public use from March 27 through April 8, except for when it will be in use for the Children's ministry on the morning of Palm Sunday, April 2.
