The Season of Lent is drawing to a close.
We are coming to the end of the journey that culminates in Passion Week, following the days that Jesus walked
from his entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, his death on Good Friday and Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
Many events surrounded that week.
Two of Jesus’ closest friends made radical choices, with huge consequences; Judas betraying Jesus,which led to his untimely death, and Peter who even though denying Jesus, made a choice to return to him in Hope.
Lent has been an opportunity for each of us to examine the way we have betrayed, or denied Jesus, as well as making a choice to continue walking and trusting him into the future.
So we remember, and we celebrate this great occasion in our Church History and Present.
Passover Meal (thursday night)
Jews and believers in Jesus embark on a personal journey from slavery to freedom & liberation in re-living the account of the passover story ( Haggadah), an opportunity to engage with this story & find common links within your own stories during the night. (still time to rsvp….call the office now!)
Good Friday is a pivotal day in our easter festival, so take some time to consider the crucifixion of Christ, and if you can, visit one of the many churches that will be holding meetings and events on this day, or rest with family and friends on this holiday.
And on Sunday at Edge we will continue this Easter Festival – easter eggs out in full force (for those breaking Lent!), a fish breakfast at 9am for the earlybirds, and two community gatherings at 10am & 6pm, where we will remember and celebrate this great time, together.
Happy Easter Edge.
