Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Holy Week is one of the most important weeks of the year. Beginning with Palm Sunday and leading up to Easter, those seven days tell the story of the passion of our Lord and Savior. The week allows us to experience Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem; his confrontations with the Pharisees; his teaching the crowds; his Last Supper with his disciples; his prayer and resolve in the garden; his arrest, trial, and crucifixion; his suffering and death on the cross. Holy Week is holy. It is meant to be a time that is “set apart” for reflection and contemplation on the last week of our Savior’s earthly life and the events of his passion. The Moravian church has always placed an emphasis on the importance of this week. Dating back to the days of Count Zinzendorf, the Readings for Holy Week provide us with the the complete scriptural account of Jesus’ last week. It is important to participate in the Holy Week reading services, to set apart time each evening to come to church and reflect upon what our Savior said and did that led him to the cross and grave, that caused him to suffer and die, for us and for our salvation. Holy Week this year begins on Palm Sunday, March 25. During our morning worship we will
celebrate the coming of our Lord and Savior by singing Hosanna, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord! Our Holy Week journey will continue as we have reading services each evening, Monday through Friday, beginning at 7 p.m.. We will celebrate Holy Communion on Maundy Thursday and a Tenebrae Service on Good Friday. Please make the effort to set this week, every day of this week, apart from your typical routines and activities so that you may come to worship and experience holy week. Make it your goal and commitment to journey with Jesus every step of the way. Lord, I’ll praise thee now and ever, who for me was crucified; for thy agony, dear Savior, for thy wounds and pierced side, for thy love, so tried, unending, for thy death, all deaths transcending. For thy death and love divine, Lord, I’ll be forever thine.

Across the Pastor’s Desk As I write this, I am eagerly waiting for Br. John Robinson’s presentation of the Gospel of Mark in its entirety, from memory, in the King James, on March 18th. As you read this, that opportunity is past. However, it is not too late to reconnect with Jesus in Mark’s gospel. It is always available to you, near to hand, and you can read it through in less than one and onehalf hours. Mark has been my favorite gospel since I was a boy, probably because my dad used to read it in the King James, and I liked how Jesus was always doing things “straightway.” Today, we would say that he did something “immediately.” Scholars are universal in thinking it the oldest of the gospels, dating it to the time after the death of Peter in Rome, in about 65 A.D., and before the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. A tradition dating from the middle of the 2nd Christian century attributes the writing of the gospel to John Mark, a companion of Peter in Rome, and makes Peter himself the authority behind the words. Tjhere is much in the gospel that smacks of an eyewitness account, including Mark’s use of Aramaic words and phrases, for, though the gospels were written in Greek, Jesus undoubtedly read the Bible in Hebrew and Aramaic, and then spoke Aramaic, like most of his Jewish contemporaries. Mark alone puts Aramaic words and phrases on the lips of Jesus, like, “corban” (“given to God”, in speaking of the Pharisees ritual neglect of their parents.), “Talitha Cumi!” (“Little girl arise!”, in healing Jairus’s daughter.), “Ephphatha!”, “Be Open,” in addressing the man who was healed of his deafness.) “Abba” (“Daddy/Father!”, in addressing God
Page 2
in prayer in the Garden.), and “Eloi, eloi lama sabachtnai?,” “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”, in his cry from the cross.). It seems that there were times when Peter, even though speaking to an audience which could not understand the Aramaic words, could not help speaking the very words he had once heard Jesus speak. There are other reasons for valuing Mark’s gospel. Mark certainly believes in the Divinity of Jesus. Mark 1:1 declares, “The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.” However, Mark also gives us a wonderful picture of Jesus’s humanity, too. For instance, Mark alone tells us that Jesus was a carpenter. Matthew calls him “the son of the carpenter.” Perhaps he did not want Jesus thought of as a village tradesman? Personally, I like the idea! After all, Jesus lived the common life of his family and village for thirty years before embarking on a ministry of not more than three years. Likewise, Mark also says more about the very human emotions of Jesus than any of the other gospels. In Mark 3:5 and 8:33 and 10:14 he is filled with righteous anger. In Mark 6:6 he “marveled at their unbelief.” In Mark 6:34 he was moved with compassion. In Mark 7:34 and 8:12, Jesus “sighed deeply in his spirit.” In Mark 11:12 he feels the pangs of hunger. Remarkably, in telling the story of the rich (Mark), young (Matthew), ruler (Luke), Mark alone tells how Jesus looked on the young man and loved him, despite the fact that he could not leave his property behind to follow Jesus! And what about how Jesus treats children in Mark? Matthew tells us that Jesus took a little child and set him in the midst of his disciples, but Mark alone adds that Jesus took the child up into his arms before speaking to his disciples! Likewise, Mark adds a second interlude with children, in which Jesus takes

them in his arms and blesses them. Why is the humanity of Jesus so important? It is important because it reminds us of the depths of God’s identification with us. There are many other things in Mark’s gospel that are worth noting, and that gives us an opportunity. Lent is a season in which we either forgo something, or add something. Lent is over, but we can still take away from our lives that which does not profit, and add that which does. Many of us would do well to add a closer look at Mark’s Gospel to our reading of the Scripture. The Pastor

Friends of Forsyth Jail and Prison Ministry
During the season of Lent, we pray: “Lord God, our Father in heaven, you have shown your great love toward us by sending your Son into the world to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. We give you thanks because you have made us worthy to share in the inheritance of the saints in light, having rescued us from the power of darkness, and brought us into the kingdom of your beloved Son, in whom we have redemption though his blood, the forgiveness of sin.”

Missions and Social Concerns
Medical Mission in Haiti – Susan Cook: Susan Cook gave a very informative presentation on her medical mission trip to Haiti last fall. Susan and her team have been travelling to Haiti and conducting basic health screening like blood pressure in adults and immunization and nutrition for the children for approximately 20 years. For years Susan and her team provided medical outreach to the people of Leogane which is located in the southwest hills of Haiti. Last year she provided medical outreach to the people of Momance. The primary goal of these mission trips is a holistic approach which includes spiritual, physical, medical and educational. They have found that this approach not just addresses immediate needs but change lives. The objective is for the people of Momance to become self-sufficient. Currently the only medical and dental care for this area is through this medical mission. However, on this trip a Haitian medical doctor, nurse and dentist worked with Susan and her team. Any child found malnourished is registered in the Nutrition program that NPMC supports. This nutritional program is supported with funds from the United States. The approximately cost for each child is $300 per year. To address educational, physical, spiritual, medical, dental needs they have formed a non-profit advisory board “Dreams of Momance” of which Susan is a member of the board. Susan will be returning to Haiti on another medical mission trip in October of this year.

Ross & Erin, Youth Leaders start! We began the year by going night skiing at Appalachian Ski Mountain. We had several youth who had never been skiing before, who were coming down slopes by the end of the night. We have also been working on building fellowship in the youth group as well as learn about different parts of the bible. The youth participated in some great bible trivia games as they learn various aspects of the bible. We also do service! Most recently, the youth volunteered their time giving back to the church. They worked vigorously to spread 300 bales of pine needles around the church in preparation for Easter. Coming up we have several fun events from bowling to climbing. We also have planned Youth Sunday for May 6. For summer, the senior high group is preparing to take part in a trip to Cuba to visit with our brothers and sisters.
