Worship this week - April 13th

Dr. McIvor's sermon is "A Donkey and a Colt" based on Matthew 21.1-11. All four gospels tell about Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, but Matthew's version differs from Mark, Luke, and John. He says Jesus rode a donkey and a colt, apparently at the same time! Picture this and an image of the circus may come to mind when an equestrian gallops into the arena standing on the backs of two horses. That's probably not what Matthew had in mind. In fact, with the donkey and the colt Matthew is teaching us a little theology.

Holy Week 2014 

This Sunday, April 13th, is Palm Sunday and with it we begin the most holy week in the Christian year. As in years past, there will be services each evening or day of Holy Week. Beginning Monday, April 14th, the evening services start at 7:30pm. The Maundy Thursday service is preceded by a soup supper at 6:15pm. The Good Friday service on April 18th is at noon at the Wayside Inn's Martha Mary Chapel as we join with other congregations from Sudbury to remember Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. Dr. McIvor's sermons throughout the week are based on texts from Matthew 26. They focus on five key moments in Jesus' final days: "Anointing," "Supper," "Denial," "Prayer," and "Betrayal."

On Saturday night we observe the Great Vigil of Easter beginning at 9:00pm. Once again we hear scripture's story of salvation, renew our baptismal vows, and come to the Lord's Table. On Easter Sunday, April 20th, we gather to welcome the glad news that "Christ Is Risen." The Easter sermon is "Come, See, Go, Tell." What else can faithful Christians do in the joy of the resurrection? Holy Week is unlike any other week. Come as often as you are able and you will be blessed.
