Take up your cross and follow…

Jesus said to them all, "If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it. - Luke 9:23-24

What is your favorite part of Holy Week?

Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday and ends with Easter morning - 
in between is The Cross.

Shouts of Hosanna to rejoicing Alleluia - in between while on The Cross Jesus speaks...

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Luke 23:34

Verily, I say unto you today, thou shalt be with me in paradise.
Luke 23:43

Woman, behold thy son. (Says to disciple) Behold thy mother.
John 19:26-27

My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?
Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34

I thirst.
John 19:28

It is finished.
John 19:30

Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit.
Luke 23:46
 

• St. Luke's Cross Walk - Friday, April 2 at 6 PM
• This is one of my favorite parts of Holy Week, carrying the cross. Please join the processional. There are three crosses to carry in honor of the two who were crucified with Jesus. One of the others picked up his cross by asking Jesus to remember him. All ages welcome, with three different size crosses. Children's, Adult, and Large Cross We will start at the worship entrance, Door C. Dress for the weather. We will return in time for Good Friday worship at 7 PM.
• As they led Jesus away, they seized a man, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and they laid the cross on him, and made him carry it behind Jesus. - Luke 23:26
