Holy Week 2007
Holy Week and Easter mark the highest points in the Christian Year. The resurrection of Jesus Christ was, in the words of New Testament scholar, N.T. Wright, “the hinge on which the door of history turned. The resurrection of Jesus did not merely offer new, or sharply defined, hope for the future. It gave new perspective to the present time, cosmically and personally.”
On Palm/Passion Sunday we recognize Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem and his Passion (betrayal, arrest, trial and crucifixion). The two extra services this week highlight portions of the Passion story.
Maundy Thursday is named for Jesus' command given at the Last Supper (Maundy is from the Latin mandare , "to command") to the disciples to love one another as Jesus loves them.
Good Friday commemorates Jesus' final earthly hours of betrayal, arrest, trial and crucifixion. It is a painful, yet crucial remembrance of Jesus' story, and his commitment to God and God's love for the world.
Next Sunday we gather in the wonder, praise and celebration of Easter! The fullness of Holy Week serves to deepen our faith and inspire us with the amazing extent of God's love for us and the world. God bless you in your faithjourney this week and always.

"Getting the Word Out"-Concluded 5/21/06
Worship Series:
“Getting the Word Out”
The mission of the Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ. John Wesley, the spiritual ancestor of The United Methodist Church, preached and wrote strongly against “solitary religion.” As much as we value the private perspective of faith, there are undeniably social and relational dimensions to living faith.
