A special week

Dear friends,

Jesus approached Jerusalem knowing it would be the end of his earthly ministry. He entered the city with humility and hope. It made me think of this story:

Albert Einstein once arrived in London carrying his violin. After greeting him, an old friend asked, "You still play the violin, Albert?"

The mathematical genius nodded and said, "Yes, but not very well. My teacher says, 'The trouble with you, Mr. Einstein, is that you can't count.'"

He knew that he had much to learn if he were to play the violin well. So he approached his endeavor with a sense of humility, even to the point of laughing at his poor rhythm.

This is a special week. From the excitement of Palm Sunday we move on to the gift of Maundy Thuirsday and the horror of Good Friday. And then, after the waiting, the wondrous celebration of aster morning. Those responsible for the services this weekend are working hard to make them meaning-filled and worshipful. I hope you are planning to attend and mark the events that have changed our lives.

Blessings,
Pastor Beth
