Holy Week 2010

March 21, 2010

Sunday, March 28 – Palm Sunday Worship 10:30 am:  Palm Sunday
Come and celebrate Palm Sunday at MCC of Albuquerque as we join the parade who welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem.

Thursday, April 1st – Holy Thursday Worship 7 pm:  Our Place at the Table
On this night Jesus gathered with the disciples and friends to share what we call the Last Supper.  He later went to the garden and prayed, knowing what was ahead.  Experience Holy Thursday by expressing yourself through art, gardening, cleansing, sharing a meal, and music.  Create something that you can take home as a remembrance of this night.

Friday, April 2nd – Good Friday Worship 7 pm:  Our Place at the Cross
The cross is more than just a piece of fashionable jewelry.  It is the fulfillment of the life and ministry of Jesus.  Discover your place at the cross with Jesus and the power it holds.
