Entering Holy Week (This is also attached)
“A Time to Remember, Reflect, and Be Renewed ”
Dear Friends,
We are entering into Holy Week starting this Sunday—a sacred time in our Christian
journey. There are many stories to learn and experience, and many more to witness and
be amazed by.
This week, unlike others, I haven’t written a personal reflection. Instead, I invite you to
ponder, to sit with these powerful scriptures, and to let the Spirit stir your own
reflections. Holy Week calls us into deep places—of sorrow, sacrifice, love, and joy.
I encourage us all to take time to meditate on these scriptures. They carry us from the
Last Supper to the cross… and finally to the empty tomb. They hold the heart of our
faith and the hope of our redemption.
May grace meets you in the stillness, and may you walk this week closely with Christ.

Prayer
God of Holy Week,
As we enter into these sacred days, open our hearts to Your story.
Let the weight of the cross remind us of love’s cost, And the
joy of the resurrection reminds us of love’s triumph.
Give us quiet moments to listen, to reflect, and to truly see.
Draw us closer to You and to one another. In Jesus name, Amen.
