Whiteboard: Holy Week

I wrestled with what to put on the Whiteboard this week.

You see, we have two Worship Services this week, and they couldn't be more different from one another.

Midweek we will have our Maundy Thursday Worship Service (Thursday evening 7PM in the Sanctuary following the 6PM Potluck Dinner in the Fellowship Hall). At that service we will celebrate Christ instituting the Holy Communion at the Last Supper and follow it with a Service of Tenebrae -- a candlelit vigil through scripture that ultimately brings us to the cross.

Then on Sunday, well, that is obviously Easter Sunday! We will celebrate Christ's resurrection, the gift of new life, and that God's love is ultimately more powerful than the death dealing ways of the world.

So what to put on the Whiteboard? Do I split it in two and dedicate half the board to Maundy Thursday and half to Easter Sunday? Do I change it midweek as my focus changes? Can you really right, "Christ is Risen" in big bold letters before the Holy Week worship services are through?

In the end, I decided to focus on the whole week rather than the particular worship services. Which is how we ended up with this...

I hope to see everyone on Maundy Thursday (Potluck at 6PM, Worship at 7PM) and Easter Sunday!
