Grace and Peace to you in the name of our Lord -
As we gather in various ways and places during this most holy week, know that I hold you close in my prayers and in my thoughts.
Christians throughout the world are engaged in prayer, praise, worship and service that finds its life in the saving acts of Jesus this week. Likewise, throughout our region many have gathered in ecumenical services of holy worship this week already. Many will gather for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday observances. Prayer vigils are being undertaken throughout West Virginia and Maryland. Easter is coming, but not yet.
Christians serve the world and the Head of the Church well when we take reverent pause and remember the saving work of Jesus Christ on the cross. The observances that we make throughout this week are also moments of grace that God gives us.
May we focus on the cross of Christ as we approach Easter. God bless you this week and every week.
Your Regional Minister,
+ Thaddaeus
