It’s Holy Saturday, and we wait.

April 16, 2022 By Katherine Doyle Leave a Comment

I often hear, and have said myself, you can’t get to Easter Sunday without Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. But what about Holy Saturday?

April 2, 2021 By Traci Smith 5 Comments

In my experience, many pastors and ministry leaders approach the death of Jesus much too casually with children.

Maundy Thursday’s Call to Love

April 1, 2021 By Allison Sandlin Liles Leave a Comment

Do you remember observing Maundy Thursday at home last year? It felt like a quaint, one-time experience to share with our households, then years later share as a story with future generations of the family. Except of course, it wasn’t a one-time experience. We’re here again a year later with another Maundy Thursday at home.
