As we prayerfully journey toward Holy Week, we allow Him to transform and renew us for the sake of those around us.

 

As faith communities, we will be participating in a way that places us within the bigger story.

 

The Service of Shadows on Thursday and Good Friday will invite us to sit in darkness and loss—lamenting humanity’s desire to reject its Creator. Through song, Scripture, prayer, and silence, we will contemplate this dark day, not dismissing the feelings of confusion, sadness, and grief.

 

But on Sunday, we celebrate! We celebrate the continuation of the story of reconciliation through resurrection. We celebrate that Jesus’ story doesn’t end with death—and neither does ours.
