This Holy Week 'Journey to the Cross' with Us
As we journey through Holy Week, we are called to pause and reflect on the profound significance of the events that unfolded in the final days of Jesus’ earthly ministry. From the triumphant entry into Jerusalem to the solemn observances of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the anticipation of Holy Saturday, we are invited to immerse ourselves in the narrative of Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection.
Holy Week is not merely a historical recounting of past events; it is a sacred time for us to engage with the transformative power of Christ’s story in our lives today. It is a time to meditate on His teachings, to contemplate the depth of His love, and to renew our commitment to follow Him as His disciples in the world.
To aid us in this spiritual journey, our Adult Spiritual Formation Team is pleased to present our Holy Week devotional below. Within its pages, you will find reflections, prayers, and scripture passages designed to guide you through each day of this sacred week. Whether you participate in solitary reflection or join in community worship, may this devotional deepen your understanding of Christ’s journey and draw you closer to His presence.

Help us adorn flower crosses for easter
Help our crosses bloom with new life on Easter Sunday. Crosses covered with chicken wire and palm branches will be placed outside in front of the Sanctuary and near the Bridge Cafe entrance. Members and friends of Wesley Memorial Church are invited to bring flowers (purchased or from your garden) to adorn the crosses starting Saturday, March 30, 2024.
On Easter Sunday, these crosses will serve as the background for family photographs taken by a professional photographer.
easter photos & Refreshments
As a gift to you, on Easter Sunday there will be a photo station set up to provide you with a free digital image and a free 4x6 photo print. The photo will be taken of you by the flower crosses, following the 9:45 a.m. service outside the Bridge Café and following the 11 a.m. on the front lawn. We will also have Kona Ice, lemonade, and cookies as a special Easter treat for you and your family.
