Friends,

Greetings. Holy Week is quickly approaching and we draw near to specific events that are a part of our salvation history as they point to the life, suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We began our 40 day journey in the wilderness walking with the one who continues to lead us to a place of grace, freedom, and hope.

As we seek to follow Christ, may green be the grass you walk on, may blue be the skies above you, may pure be the joys that surround you, may true be the hearts that love you. Amen. + (from Patrick of Ireland) +
