God as we walk through Holy week toward the cross,
May we remember the wonder of who you are .
Beyond sin your love is inexhaustible.
Beyond brokeness your forgiveness is incomprehensible.
Beyond betrayal your grace is poured out eternally.
Beyond death your life is unimaginable.
Beyond human understanding, Your ways are always higher than ours.
Blessed be the King who comes in the name of the Lord.
Peace in Heaven and glory in the highest. -Luke 19:38
I have been praying for all of you and will continue to do so. However, in this most Holy week I ask that we remember to pray together as a family. Sit with your child(ren) and discuss the meaning of Holy week and what happens during this time. Discuss that through Jesus' death and resurrection our sins are forgiven. Retell the events of Holy Week.

- Holy Wednesday (AKA Spy Wednesday): Liturgical color, purple. Judas agrees to hand over Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.
- Holy Thursday (AKA Green Thursday): Liturgical color, white. Jesus has the Last Supper, which is the institution of the Eucharist and also the first mass. He also washes the feet of his disciples. Jesus asks his disciples to pray in the garden with him all night, and they fall asleep.
