From the Pastor’s Message:

As we begin this month, we find ourselves somewhere in between the shifting of seasons. The sun and warmth is coming through just enough to tease us with the promise of spring. And when we get out hopes up, we are hit again with cold nights and winter rains.

During this time in the church year, we also get caught up in the liminal space between death and resurrection, mourning and dancing, evening vigil and sunrise celebration. As our patterns of worship seek to journey alongside the life of Jesus, we approach an intense and pivotal time in his life — his entry into Jerusalem. Of the 16 chapters in the Gospel of Mark, the first 10 detail Jesus’ three years of ministry, while the last 6 chapters are focused on a single week. We mirror the weight of that Holy Week in our worship life together.
