Last Sunday, March 1, we began a worship series at Capilano United focusing day by day on the last week of Jesus’ life.
March 1 began with his last Sunday – the day we call Palm Sunday.
This coming Sunday will continue with his last Monday; March 15 with Tuesday; and so on up to Easter Sunday, April 12th.
I have also be meeting with the children on Wednesdays after school to help prepare a re-enactment of Thursday, which is the day Jesus ate his last supper with his followers. The kids are a great group to meet with. They are learning a lot and bring great energy and enthusiasm for the project.
As I have been preparing for this series, I have discovered that taking a closer, day by day, look at the last week of Jesus’ life has given me some helpful new ways of understanding his death – and hence of his resurrection. This is a powerful and troubling story that touches on our own struggles for finding hopes that we can trust without hesitation; hopes that are truly trustworthy and can guide us through all of our changing circumstances. You can read my notes on each day by clicking here.
I hope you’ll be able to join us for worship, Sundays at 10:30.
Particularly on April 5 for the children’s presentation, and on Easter Sunday, April 12.
