A Holy Week Reflection - Tuesday

Since Sunday I have been in prayer and study to prepare for several special events during this week - known as Holy Week.  The week between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday is always a special time to devote yourself to spiritual emphasis to prepare for Resurrection Sunday!   At NRN we have a number of opportunities to go deeper with God this week.

First - We will gather on Wednesday evening - March 27th  - at 6:30pm to continue the spirit of the 24 hour Prayer vigil we recently concluded.  We will consider many prayer request and devote ourselves to one hour of prayer. Join us for Corporate Prayer.

Next - We will gather on Friday evening - March 29th - at 7:00pm for our annual Good Friday Worship.  This year is a little different from previous years.  We plan to begin our time in worship by singing several songs about the Cross of Christ.  Then I will bring the final message in the Lenten teaching series - Revealed in Red. We will end the time with prayer and communion.

Saturday - March 30 we gather at 9:00am to prepare for our annual community outreach event at Easter.  The HUGE EASTER EGG HUNT will be underway at 10:00am with hundreds of children receiving plastic eggs filled with candy and the gospel message.  This year should provide an awesome event for all who attend. 

SUNDAY - MARCH 31 - IS EASTER SUNDAY.  We will begin our Resurrection Sunday worship at 10:30am by singing several familiar hymns of faith for Easter.  We will receive new members in a public welcome and then the worship team will lead us in some new songs of worship that will move your spirit.   I will bring a message about how the Resurrection of Jesus Christ Changes Everything!
I am praying and trusting that many invitations will be accepted and new families will join us for an awesome day!

Every day until then I will be posting some of my thoughts about the importance of being in church on Easter Sunday.  Check back this week for some unique perspective on the this topic.

Here is my first posting.  My wife Sharron received this from Dr. Page Wages and I immediately felt it was perfect to share today.  Enjoy!
