Gathering to Worship and to Remember ...

In the months since our fire, we've had to hold services in a variety of places ... tonight for Maundy Thursday we returned to the North Chapel of Minnedosa Funeral Services ... Nathan, Rick and Perry rolled out the red carpet and made us welcome ...

We gathered in the small chapel, as we had last year on Maundy Thursday. Eleanor lead us in our hymns and we broke bread and poured out the cup, remembering the night long ago when Jesus and his disciples entered the events that bring Holy Week to its culmination ...
In the coming days, I will post the bulletin from tonight, and the bulletins from the other Holy Week services ... For now though - a hearty thanks to the staff and management of Minnedosa Funeral Service for the gracious use of their facilities, a thanks to the Worship committee members for helping make the service happen and a thanks to Eleanor for her worship leadership ...

With the setting of the sun comes the darkness that will linger in the coming days as we walk through the streets of Jerusalem once again and confront the long shadows of the season ...
