Do you have a way to prepare your heart for Holy Week and Easter (Easter is April 20 this year)? There are certainly a plethora of resources available these days.

I have also benefited from Nancy Guthrie's Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross: Experiencing the Passion and Power of Easter.
In the fall as we were finishing our study of Ephesians 4-6, I asked our Women's Bible study group for suggestions for the Spring 2025 study. The seven I am statements of Jesus leading up to Easter was one of the results and after praying for direction, I felt this would be a powerful study for this time.
We're meeting on Thursday evenings at 6:30pm, March 6-April 17. We'd love to have you!
