We are on the precipice of Holy Week, the heart of the Christian year, in which the Church invites us to journey with Jesus through the suffering of the Cross to the joy of the Resurrection.

Whether you are a life-long Christian or someone that is exploring the faith and looking for meaning and rootedness in an ever-changing world, I want to personally invite you to discover and celebrate the joy of Jesus with us at Emmanuel this Holy Week and Easter.

Here is a schedule of our services for the week:

Resources

And here are some additional resources to help you observance Holy Week at home:

HERE is a booklet from Liturgical Press containing liturgies for home. This is not intended to replace the liturgies above when we will all gather together.

Holy Week activities for children HERE and HERE.

HERE is a link to a series of sermons on the seven last words of Christ from the Cross by the great Episcopalian preacher Fleming Rutledge. Listen to one each day in Holy Week.

HERE is a recipe for hot cross buns and HERE is an explanation of their significance.

I pray that you and your household will be transformed by the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ this Holy Week as we journey with him through the darkness of death to the joy of the Resurrection.

Yours in Christ,

Jonathan+
