March 25th - April 1st
Following Jesus from Death to Life
Next week (March 22 - April 1) is the time when the western church remembers the most important week in history. This is no joke. As Christians, we believe that the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus is an event of such monumental proportions that all of human history hinges upon it. We'll be reflecting on the events leading up to and including these moments in time that make up the foundation of our faith. This very important week starts off with Palm Sunday and ends with the resurrection of Jesus on the very next Sunday (Easter).
