Saturday, March 21st 7pm - Labyrinth Service
"The Journey Through Holy Week"
The season of Lent is preparation for the most important week of the year for Christians– Holy Week. The week when we once again join in the events of the last few days of Jesus’ life in this world. While the events of Holy Week ‘hold up to a light’ the ways we, like all humans have failings and shortcomings, they also allow us to see that our brokenness is never the end! And that God is with us, holding us, and ultimately bringing us to new life.
So, as part of our preparation for Holy Week, on Saturday March 21st at 7pm we are offering a simple, reflective, candlelight worship service: “The Journey through Holy Week”. We will gather in the gym so we can incorporate our beautiful labyrinth into the service as part of a metaphorical ‘journey’ with Jesus. Come and join us for this gentle worship, which will explore the events of Holy Week with stations on the events of this week starting with the enthusiasm of the Palm Sunday parade, through the events of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday and ending with the resurrection at the centre of a joyful labyrinth walk - ringing handbells as we journey to the centre with God at our side. This service is suitable for youth as well as adults and everyone is welcome. Walking the labyrinth will be optional, so you can still fully participate if that is something you can’t do (or don’t want to do). Talk to or email Roberta for more information (rfraser@stmaryskerrisdale.ca).
