I invite you to join me on a week long journey that leads us from Palm Sunday to the cross to the resurrection of Easter morning. During this journey I encourage you to participate in any or all of these three ways;
1) Reflection: Spend time each day reflecting on the events that happened during Holy Week through taking time in Bible reading and prayer. This is a great way to prepare our heart to re-discover of the amazing gift of new life that is found in Jesus.
Below you will find a suggested Scripture Reading Plan to help you. The selected Scriptures are linked to BibleGateway and are arranged chronologically from the Four Gospels with Extra Reading Material for each day of the Week. Do not let it overwhelm you. Let God's word speak to your spirit.

2) Fasting: Consider giving something up during this week in order to help you focus, and to humble yourself before God.
3) Fellowship: I encourage you not to experience Holy week alone. Pray with your family or a good friend, share your journey, read the Scriptures together and discuss things that God is teaching you.
May this week be a special time for each of us to press in with God and reflect on the amazing sacrifice He made for us. Have a blessed week!
