Our rhythm of rest and worship during Holy Week helps clear away the debris of distraction and helps remind us how central and significant the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are.

For many, Holy Week is the most beloved week of the year at our church. It is beloved not merely for the beautiful music, added fellowship, or triumphant celebration, but for the way it helps fix our eyes on Jesus Christ. The drama of Holy Week is the center of Scripture, of history, and – because of our sin and our union with Jesus Christ – the center of our lives as Christians.

This year, we will gather each day at PCPC, so together our hearts and minds can focus on our Lord and Savior Jesus.

“In this is love, not that we have loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”

1 JOHN 4:10

WHEN JESUS HAD SAID THESE THINGS, HE DEPARTED AND HID HIMSELF FROM THEM. –JOHN 12:36B

Jesus, why did You hide?

What were You doing?

Did You pray?

Were You alone?

What did You feel?

I do not understand, Lord.

EASTER FLOWER CROSS We invite all children to bring a flower to place in the large cross out in the new Courtyard on Easter Sunday.

This longstanding, beautiful tradition was brought to our church family years ago by Leslie Newman and Laura Billings. With the help of Gale Emerson, our Sextons, and many PCPC members over the years, our PCPC Kids Ministry keeps it going today.

It’s such a beautiful reminder that He is Risen!

It is knowledge beyond my grasp.

But I believe this to be true— You were hidden in the love of the Father,

Hidden to be found, “Now, is my soul troubled,” Found to be killed, “For this purpose, I have come,” Killed to be raised, “Father, glorify Your name,”

Raised to hide God’s children In the hollow of Your nail scarred hands.
