Why do Holy Week?
When clergy gather, they often talk about how wonderful the worship
was when they were in seminary. The services were not actually that
much better than in most churches (though it does help having a
bunch of people who know the parts and like to sing). The main
difference was that people had lived and studied together all week.
The community was tighter than we are able to maintain while living
the rest of our busy lives. For this one week of the year, though, I
think you'll find your experiences of all the services enriched, the
more you are able to participate.
The reason people usually give is also valid: To fully appreciate
the good news of Easter, it helps to walk with Jesus through the
sacrifice that made it possible.
I look forward to worshiping with you this week, and celebrating
with you on Easter Morning!
Yours in Christ,
Tom
