Through this 7 week sermon series we will study together the last days of Jesus’ life, from his triumphant entry into Jerusalem to his prayers at Gethsemane. What actually happened that week? Why do we call this week holy and how does this week inform our own understanding of faith and life? Join us as we journey with Jesus this Lenten season.
