Make Holy Week Holy

4/4/2017

0 Comments

 
Holy Week is called "Holy" for a reason. It is a week set apart (holy) for something very special: the remembrance, experience, and celebration of Jesus' journey into Jerusalem to the Table to the Cross and out of the Tomb. This is the week the world was changed--and is still being changed relative to how closely Jesus' followers identify with and are shaped by the life and example of Jesus. 
As Walter Brueggemann writes, the call of the Church is "to practice the memory of Jesus and to let that memory be fully present tense." Below you can see some of the ways we are going to be "practicing the memory" together, including some very special events with other churches and out in the neighborhood.

Palm Sunday

With the full band, we will wave Palms and celebrate the entrance of our King into the fulfillment of his mission. Our "GO" will be about Jesus' invitation to be a part of the story, not just spectators.

Maundy Thursday

In this case, Jesus' "GO" is a radical one: "Go therefore into the main streets, and invite everyone you find to the wedding banquet." So we're doing just that. We're heading downtown to Uptown Green Park to share a banquet with whomever wants to come. We are hoping to do our prep work on Wednesday night (4/12) and then will take the meal down to serve from 5-7pm on Thursday. We will also offer prayers and blessings to anyone who wishes to receive them. Please let Pastor Jon know if you are interested in helping prep or want more info.

Good Friday

For the 3rd straight year, we will meet at the Point Place Lighthouse with sisters and brothers from all the Point/Shoreland churches to begin a CrossWalk that will culminate at St. John's. ​There is parking available at each stop. Wagons, bikes, strollers, etc. are usually present and welcome.
Then, at 7pm, we will join with Northpoint and CrossPoint churches at RiverPoint in a service that will help us to contemplate the Cross and all that it means to us. Childcare will be available.

Easter Sunday

Our journey leads us to an Easter celebration. All are welcome for a short prayer/devotional and breakfast at 9:30am and a joyful worship experience at 10:30am.
