Celebrating Passion Week

Last year, Scott & I started a family tradition of observing and celebrating passion week. It was very meaningful to us and we would like to share it with others.  We would read, discuss, and pray together to focus and remember what Jesus did each day of the week.

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed."

You can find the passion week time line we are going to use, here  .

Read: Matthew 21:1-11.

Extended time in prayer together.

Thursday:

We celebrated by eating a passover meal together.
This was a neat experience, as we discovered the meaning
behind why each food was prepared & chosen.
