It was an eventful Holy Week, with several emotional worship services at Eastgate. I thought that it was a meaningful period, following in Jesus' footsteps through his passion and resurrection. It was a mix of old and new, with traditional scripture readings and services alongside Palm Sunday's radio play, "The Second Day" -- a very untraditional way of considering Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. And there was plenty of music -- wonderful music all week long.
During the week, we also finished up the series of sermons considering "God's Promises in Hard Times." On Maundy Thursday, we balanced Peter's denial of Jesus with Jesus' prayer in the garden of Gethsemane. Click here to listen to that evening's meditation. On Easter, we explored the meaning of Jesus' resurrection through the risen Christ's appearance to two disciples on the road to Emmaus.
If you missed the Easter sermon, would like to listen to it again, or would like to share it with others, you can find an audio recording here. You can also listen to the communion meditation from Sunday's service.
