Holy Week Lunches

     Every year our church does Holy Week lunches which is lunch and a devotional relating to the week of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. This is the first year I've actually been able to attend. I was so glad for the opportunity to go on Monday and then again today. This year they did not have childcare; so Lucas sat in lunch with me. He did such a good job of staying seated and being quite during the devotionals.

     We sat with our friends Karice, Jackson, and baby Weldon. We sat in the back just in case we had to make a quick exit, but thankfully we didn't have too. Lucas and Jackson have become fast friends. Today when our student minister, Jeff, was praying at the devotional, Lucas was trying to get Jackson to close his eyes. He just kept folding his hands in prayer and telling Jackson to close his eyes in his whisper voice. It was really cute. 

     It has been such a blessing to have extra time with my church family pondering the final week of Jesus before His crucifixion and resurrection. While His death was the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, the cross would be meaningless without His resurrection! My God has power over life and death!!!
