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.

God's Work Through Resurrection's First Healing Conference
This past fall, Church of the Resurrection hosted our first ever Healing Conference. Over the course of three days, the theme “Hope for Wholeness” was played out through a dynamic combination of preaching, teaching, worship, and healing. Each session began and ended with worship, and many were followed by a powerful ministry time of healing prayer. The weekend acted as a culmination of Resurrection’s commitment to healing ministries, and by the closing communion service it was clear that many at the conference had encountered God.

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.

Tell the Story: Reflections on the Vigil readings
Something powerful happens when a church community simply reads the Bible together. This probably sounds boring to a lot of people. No gimmicks. No outlandish sets. No fog machines. Just the true stories of some pretty stubborn people and their fiercely faithful God. But during this year’s Easter Vigil I was struck by the inevitable wonder of these stories and how they teach us the meaning of God’s faithfulness to his people, the Israelites and his church.Something powerful happens when a church community simply reads the Bible together.
