I am pretty excited about the holy week services that start tonight. We will be going to the Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter services this year. I am excited to be able to go to all the services and experience the different aspects of each service as we "countdown" to Easter. I really enjoyed last night at youth going to the prayer garden and reflecting on Jesus time in the garden of Gethsemane. I really enjoyed being able to look at that part of the story as I lead in to the rest of the week. I expressed to the youth that sometimes I feel like me overlook that part of the story where Jesus is struggling with what he knows is about to happen and how the disciples are not even able to stay awake for an hour to pray with Jesus. Is shows their humanity that at such an important time that were willing but nevertheless unable to stay awake and pray with Jesus. In an odd way, I take comfort in that. Sometimes we turn our back on Jesus. He knows we will. And He takes us back...everytime.
Here's hoping we continue to progress and continue to learn
