When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. Luke 9:51

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

A Blessed Holy Week to each of you. I hope and pray that each of you will take advantage of the opportunity to take part in the Holy Week Services. Tonight at 6:30pm we will see Jesus dining with his disciples in the Maundy Thursday Service. Our theme for this service is “What is new about the new covenant”. Tomorrow at noon and at 6:30pm we will be walking through the passion account as found in the book of John in a Tenebrae service. On Easter we will be celebrating the resurrection of our Lord at 6:30am, 8am, and 10:30am here at the church. The sermon theme for Easter is “Making sense out of nonsense” as we look at the resurrection account in Luke 24. See you soon 😊

Yours in Christ,

Pastor Krenz
