Amazing Palm Sunday, meaningful Maundy Thursday with Dyer UMC, personal Good Friday, and joyous Easter morning summarizes our special week.
But it was the personal touch of Good Friday... that was especially poignant.
Seven persons from our congregation ranging in age from high school to long-since-retired shared their personal reflections on the last words Jesus spoke while hanging on the cross. The testimonies were very, very good.
Wow- not a dry eye in the place! My folks had never done this style of service before (I have), but they had not experienced how personal it made Good Friday.
My buttons burst with pride because I was so very pleased and moved by what these folks put together for their testimonies. Sure, I coached them in their writing, but what a witness of their commitment to Christ to share in such an amazing way!
The Crucified Christ was proclaimed and the people were blessed!
