Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace. - Martin Luther

Holy Week at CtK

It's Holy Week - the week many Christians spend way more time in worship and prayer than they do the rest of the year - as we hear again of Jesus' love and sacrifice for the whole human family, and indeed all of creation.
We began the week with Palm Sunday, a celebration of Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and then heard the passion account in the Gospel according to Luke.
We backtrack a bit during the week, to look and reflect more closely on the events of Jesus' last days. Worship will be at 7pm each night for Maundy Thursday (3/28), Good Friday (3/29) and the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday (3/30).
Have you ever wondered about Holy Week and what all those services are about? Here's a great video from Busted Halo that describes them all, and in only a couple of minutes. The explanations come from a Roman Catholic perspective, but are still quite helpful.
See you in worship!
