Grace to you and peace, from God our Creator and the Lord Jesus Christ! Tomorrow is Palm Sunday, when we remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The same day is often called Passion Sunday, because we know how the story continues: the same people who praised Jesus with loud Hosannas later called for his crucifixion. Living between those poles of emotion is difficult and may feel too familiar from moments in our own lives, even if we haven’t anticipated judgment or betrayal. How we navigate the movement between the breadth of experiences this life offers is the focus of this holy week, moving toward our celebration at Easter. It begins tomorrow and continues with services here on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. in Fisher Hall (a dramatic presentation with players from New Surry Theater as well as our own congregation), the stations of the cross on the Murphy Trail at noon on Good Friday, and with two services on Easter morning. The 10:00 service will provide the joy of musical clamor from Clair Maxwell on the organ, our chimes choir, trumpet, our musical consort, and our choir. The quieter service at 6:00 a.m. at the foot of Blue Hill Mountain will be accompanied by birdsong and the brilliance of an Easter sunrise. Join us in our contemplation and our celebration!
Blessings and peace, Lisa
