It's Holy Week!

It's Holy Week and my church has a schedule of events that will bring the week before Our Lord's Crucifixion sharply into focus for us.

Palm Sunday 3-28
Instead of palms, this year we returned our "Rose of Sharon" to the altar. These roses stayed in our respective homes for one entire week symbolizing how God works in our lives to defy negative things, spiritual darkness or evil.

Monday 3-29Drink the milk and honey

Tuesday 3-3-Anointing with oil

Biblical reference: The woman with the alabaster box of oil who anointed the Lord before He was crucified and the book of James says that all who are sick should be anointed with oil and prayed over by the church elders. I was first in line!

Wednesday 3-31 Washing of feet

Biblical reference: Christ washed the disciples feet as a sign of how we should be humble.

Holy Thursday 4-1 Blessing the bread

Christ sent the disciples ahead to prepare the upper room for the Passover meal where he broke bread and drank wine as a covenant with them. This year I baked my own unleavened bread for 18 minutes and then had to leave in a hurry to get to church.

Good Friday 4-2 Receive the cross
The Living Faith Church in Israel sent us lots of wooden crosses made out of olive tree wood. This is going to be a life changing event! I will not miss it!

Saturday 4-03 Anointing with perfume
Both Pastor Daniel and his wife, Angela, will anoint worshipers with perfumed oil and pray for our romantic and family lives. Again, I will be first in line(lol)!

Resurrection Sunday! 4-4
He is Risen!!!!!!
