2012 Holy Week Photos
Each year Holy Week is a profound time of communal and individual reflection and celebration. It is in the dying to ourselves and rising to new life in Christ that we experience in Holy Week that we learn to walk with the Lord throughout the rest of the year. As you continue to pray through you and your family and friends' experience with the Lord this Holy Week, may these images serve as stones of remembrance of what the Lord has done and is continuing to in his people at Church of the Resurrection.

An Artist's Journal
In the spring of 2011, a group of talented artists at Church of the Resurrection came together to create a forty foot high banner of Christ for our Easter Vigil celebration. The result of their collaboration is a modern-day icon called "The Resurrected Christ." This is the powerful story of the making of that banner.In the spring of 2011, a group of talented artists at Church of the Resurrection came together to create a forty foot high banner of Christ for our Easter Vigil celebration.

Easter Sunday 2011
As our church reached the Holy Week destination of Easter morning, I found my mind teeming with details. I hoped I could keep straight, my body stressed, my spirit unsure. I didn't feel tremendously Easter-ish.

Easter Vigil 2011
"This is the night, when you brought our fathers, the children of Israel, out of bondage in Egypt, and led them through the Red Sea on dry land.
This is the night when all who believe in Christ are delivered from the gloom of sin, and are restored to grace and holiness of life.
This is the night, when Christ broke the bonds of death and hell, and rose victorious from the grave.

Good Friday 2011
As a member of the music team at Church of the Resurrection, I am very aware of the fact that the perspective of a musician is different from that of a congregant. When I am worshiping from the stage, I experience a closeness to the altar, the cross, and the congregation. In particular, I feel the energy of the sanctuary around me in the faces of those in front of me.

Maundy Thursday 2011
As we walk through Christ's last week together each year, we are drawn in to the story of his suffering and sacrifice. There is so much to take in during that week as we worship together.
A few years ago I wrote "Passion Song" which recalls several of the major events during Holy Week. I was inspired to write it while reflecting on Jesus' earthly relationships.

Tenebrae 2011
This is the third year that we have offered a Wednesday evening service during Holy Week. Tenebrae is an ancient, contemplative service where light is gradually reduced as a candle is extinguished after each Scripture reading and musical response. It was a beautiful opportunity to experience an overview of the story of Holy Week before we plunge into the narrative in detail in the triduum (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday).

Palm Sunday 2011
Holy Week at Resurrection is like a roller coaster. Having waited for what seems like forever in the long and reflective line of Lent, Palm Sunday is like taking your seat and pulling the bar down over your head, then being pulled up steadily and deliberately up the first big hill in uncertain expectation of all that's coming over that first hump...
