 Merciful God, as we enter Holy Week and gather at your house of prayer, turn our hearts again to Jerusalem, to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, that, united with Christ and all the faithful, we may one day enter in triumph the city not made by human hands, the new Jerusalem, eternal in the heavens, where with you and the Holy Spirit, Christ lives in glory forever. Amen.

Compassion Week in Houston.
As part of the mayor's recent designation of Houston as a "Compassionate City," Houston will celebrate Compassion Week, Apr. 12-18. Compassion Week offers Houstonians the chance to look around, reflect, and ask, "Are we co-creating the kind of city we want to call our own and pass on to our children? If not, what could we do during one week focused on compassion to make our city come alive with a spirit of togetherness?" Congregations may want to hold a service project which serves others during Compassion Week.
