(Series concludes with Easter Sermon: He is Not Here!
The theme of our Lent midweek meditations this year is: The Angels of the Passion. We did something like this in Advent 2018 with the Christmas Story and told what happened from the angels perspective. It was well-received, so we're bringing it back this year for the Passion Story. This is just a fun way for me to try to tell the story in a creative way. Yes, I've taken some poetic license here, but believe I remain faithful and true to the story. I hope this make you think about the story in a new way and grow in appreciation for it and all that God has done for us.
