Holy Week

Holy Week begins this Sunday, March 24th, as Christians remember and celebrate Jesus Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Holy Week is the biggest week in the church year, and at Dr. Martin Luther Church we will spend time on Maundy Thursday to celebrate the Last Supper, and on Good Friday we will mark the last words of Jesus Christ on the cross at his crucifixion.

For the past five weeks at our Midweek Lenten Services our congregation, in conjunction with the First Congregational Church of Oconomowoc, explored the commandment Jesus gave his disciples to love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love their neighbor as themselves. Pastor Matt Schneider-Adams and I enjoyed sharing the pulpit and the altar at the noon and 5:00 pm services. We also welcomed members of the First Congregational Church’s choir with two pop-up choir opportunities.

As Holy Week begins and as I look back at our time in Lent, I think about how all Christians have spent time considering Jesus’ journey to the cross and our response to his crucifixion, death, and resurrection.

See you in worship!
