Relive Holy Week & Easter -
Photos on Flickr Page
|
During Holy Week we experienced the life-saving mysteries of Christ's death and resurrection anew. The services of Holy Week are the most meaningful and life-changing services of the year for many. During Holy Week, we not only remembered Christ's saving acts for us, but we entered into the Paschal Mystery. We participated in the very acts of Christ's passion, so that on Easter we could become God's Resurrection people, agents of God's transforming love to this broken world. Relive the week here and our Flickr page!

much different image of God with his followers.

A Continued Sign of Our Baptism
The filled font in the westward baptistry stands as a continual sign of our baptism. We enter church through the waters of baptism, and we enter back into the world through the waters of baptism. Wherever we go, we are the Body of Christ, called to carry out the promises we make at our baptism.
Feel free to touch the water and mark your head as you enter the church, and enter back into the world.
