Easter Week at CCA Easter Week at CCA Easter is the most sacred day for our Christian faith, as we are thankful for a Savior who came to earth, died for our sins, and is alive today. During this pandemic, we want you, our CCA families, to be able to experience the excitement of Easter, right in your home. Although we will not meet together as large groups on Sunday, we can participate in each day of the Holy Week in our homes. For each day of the Holy Week: 1. Join us on CCA’s Facebook, Live @ NOON, Sunday, April 5, everyday through ​ ​ ​ ​ April 12, as we take a few moments to remember each day of Jesus’ journey from Palm Sunday, through Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. 2. Attached find activities you can do in your home each day of Holy Week, ​ ​ separated by age group. 3. Join us for a CCA Community prayer time on Wednesday, April 8, at 7:00pm, using this link: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/130373878?pwd=RUpQa0NmZk1KVGp2cVh2SE1RcWZi dz09 Outside Activity Consider making a chalk drawing each day of Holy Week, on your sidewalk, to share the Gospel with all those who walk by! Palm Sunday: ​ Younger Options Palm Sunday marks the day that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and people waved palm branches, as they would do to welcome royalty. Supplies: Green construction paper and popsicle sticks, branches from outside or even brown construction paper to make palm branches; markers or crayons; glue; coats Gather at the table or on the floor together. Ask: “What things do we celebrate about one another?” Talk about birthdays, grades, accomplishments, sports, music recitals, etc. PIck someone who had a recent accomplishment and cheer for them. Then ask: “How did it feel to be cheered for?” Explain that on Palm Sunday, people celebrated Jesus. They shouted, sang, and waved palm branches in excitement as Jesus went past them, to celebrate who Jesus is. Think about the reasons we love Jesus. Cut strips of green paper. On each strip, write something you love about Jesus. Glue the strips on a popsicle stick or branch, to look like a palm leaf. Allow to dry and put in a vase. This can be a reminder of why we celebrate Jesus as the week goes on (and will go in your special place that you create on Monday) In addition, you can write the names of people who are not Christians on green strips. Make a palm branch of these names, so you can specifically pray for them this week. Have everyone get some coats. Lay them on the floor. Sit on the coats and read Matthew 21:1-11. Ask: How do you think it felt to be in the crowd when Jesus was in town? Would you have been excited to see him? What would you have done when you saw Jesus come past you? Say: Just like we are sitting on these coats, people threw their coats on the road for Jesus and the donkey to walk on, to respect Him, as one would do for a King who rode past them. Say: Not everyone was happy to see Jesus. Some people wanted to kill Him. We will talk more about that over the next few days. Have fun praising Jesus with this song: Every Move I Make https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPvnZILn6EY Tweens Options Make sugar cookies in the shape of palm leaves. Frost with green frosting. As they are baking, read the Family Devotional and discuss the events of Palm Sunday as a family. ● Imagine yourself in the crowd. What would you be doing? ● What do you think about those who are cheering for Jesus? ● What do you think about those who wanted to plot against Jesus? Who were they? Why were they so upset? ● What was the significance of the donkey, the palm branches, and the coats? Challenge your tweens/teens to look up prophecies about Jesus in the Old Testament to find answers to these questions. Teens / Family Devotional Read Matthew 21:1-11 (See also Mark 11:1-11; John 12:12-16) and Zechariah 9:9. Palm Sunday is the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem, on a colt (donkey), while the crowds praised Him. Those praising Jesus would’ve been from the crowds coming into Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover, his followers and disciples. The confusion comes when we read the passages here about Jesus being worshipped by the crowds. We wonder how the crowd could go from praising Jesus on Palm Sunday to shouting for His death with Pilate just a few days later. The crowds praising Jesus on Palm Sunday were most likely travelers who came into Jerusalem to celebrate Passover and had heard Jesus teach in the surrounding areas. The crowd around Pilate would’ve been made up of those whom the religious leaders stirred up; those in Jerusalem who did not follow ​ ​ Jesus. Consider what it will be like when Jesus rides again! (Revelation 19:1-16) Spend time in prayer, praising God for who He is. Song: Michael W. Smith, All Rise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ydeHQJUcHU ​ Holy Monday: Cursing the Fig tree; cleansing the temple Younger Options Together prepare a special “Holy Week” place to sit and spend time learning about God this week. Maybe light a candle, put some extra pillows around, a few favorite stuffed animals, and a Bible. Talk about the temple, which was a special place the Jews would come to worship God. Here they would read the Old Testament and learn more about God and the promised Messiah. However, some people weren’t worshipping God in the temple; they were noisy and charging a lot of money for people to buy sacrifices when they came to worship God. Jesus wanted the place people came to worship to be focused on Him. Read Mark 11:15-18. Spend some time in prayer together. Song: I have decided to follow Jesus: https://youtu.be/sEL0WpeH088 ​ Take a moment to be quiet before God and thank Him for allowing us to worship Him. Tweens & Teens Options Sometimes our lives are so busy and noisy that we don’t take time to be with Jesus. Read Mark 11:15-18 and spend some time thinking about why Jesus reacts the way He does in the temple. Ask: ● What is noisy in my life that distracts me from prayer and time with Jesus? ● What is one thing I could change today and work on over the next few weeks, in order to make room in my life for Jesus? ● Spend some time sharing your goals with one another and then pray for each other to keep those goals. Family Devotional Read: Matthew 21: 12-22. (see also Mark 11:12-25) As Jesus cleanses the temple, we are reminded of HIs reasons to come and worship Him. He desires our full devotion, including a life of prayer. How can you make your personal life, even this week, more focused on time with Jesus, reading His Word and spending time in prayer with Him? Song: This is Amazing Grace, Phil Wickham https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFRjr_x-yxU Holy Tuesday: Jesus taught and preached in Jerusalem Younger Options Jesus taught two parables during this time: the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1-13) and the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30). Supplies: a lantern or flashlight The parable of the ten virgins reminds us to be ready for Jesus to come back again. Think about going on vacation. Have each person talk about what you need to do to be ready to go on vacation. What preparations do you need to make? What do you need to have ready to go? Then talk about what preparations we need to make for when Jesus comes back to take us to heaven? What should we do now in order to be ready? Supplies: a box wrapped in gift paper with a bow The parable of the talents reminds us to use the gifts God has given to us and be good stewards of those gifts. As parent(s), tell each child what you see as their gifts and talents. What are they good at? How has God made each one of your children unique? Take a moment to just bless and encourage each of your children and thank God for how they are gifted. (Ephesians 2:10). Then talk about how they can use the gifts God has given them to help people know Jesus. Put the lantern and/or box in your special “Holy Week” space. Song: My God is so big! https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=65&v=5JAkVD_Rws4&feature=emb_lo go Tweens & Teens | Family Devotions Bible reading: Matthew 25:1-30 As parents, we have the privilege of blessing our children. Spend some time thinking about each child God has given to you. You are a steward of one of His children! ​ ​ Ephesians 2:10 tells us that God has made us his workmanship (his masterpieces) to do good work for His Kingdom. The Bible also talks about parents giving a blessing to their children. Today, take a moment with each one of your children (together as a family or separately) and tell each child why you appreciate them so much. Tell them the gifts and talents you see in them. Tell them what you love about their personality. Consider writing it down so they can read it over and over again later (I guarantee they will.) Then spend some time praying together and asking God to use the gifts He has given to them for His honor and glory.

  • Holy Wednesday/ Spy Wednesday Noon the Liturgy of the Word
    St. Martin’s Episcopal Church Bridgewater, New Jersey An Abbreviated Celebration of the Holy Eucharist with Spiritual Communion, Rite 2 Holy Wednesday/ Spy Wednesday Noon The Liturgy of the Word Priest: + Bless the Lord who forgives our sins. All: God’s mercy endures forever. Amen Collect of the Day Lord God, whose blessed Son our Savior gave his body to be whipped and his face to be spit upon: Give us grace to accept joyfully the sufferings of the present time, confident of the glory that shall be revealed; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. The Lesson (Hebrews 12:1-3) Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such hostility against himself from sinners, so that you may not grow weary or lose heart. The Word of the Lord/ Thanks be to God Psalm 70 Deus, in adjutorium 1 Be pleased, O God, to deliver me; * O Lord, make haste to help me. 2 Let those who seek my life be ashamed and altogether dismayed; * let those who take pleasure in my misfortune draw back and be disgraced.

  • Holy Week Bible Study Holy Monday: Jesus at the Temple and the Cursed Fig Tree After Palm Sunday, Jesus Returned with His Disciples to Jerusalem
    1 Holy Week Bible Study Holy Monday: Jesus at the Temple and the Cursed Fig Tree After Palm Sunday, Jesus returned with his disciples to Jerusalem. Along the way, he cursed a fig tree because it had failed to bear fruit. Some scholars consider this cursing of the fig tree symbolized God's judgment on the spiritually dead religious leaders of Israel. Others believe the analogy reached to all believers, explaining that true faith is more than just outward religiosity; true, living faith must bear spiritual fruit in a person's life. When Jesus appeared at the Temple, he discovered the courts full of corrupt money changers. He overturned their tables and cleared the Temple, saying; Luke 19:46. The Scriptures declare, 'My Temple will be a house of prayer,' but you have turned it into a den of thieves. On Monday evening Jesus stayed in Bethany again, likely in the home of his friends, Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. The Bible account of Holy Monday is found in: Matthew 21:12-22, Mark 11:15-19, Luke 19:45-48, and John 2:13-17. Read the Bible Story of the Cursed Fig Tree Holy Tuesday: Jesus Goes to the Mount of Olives On Tuesday morning, Jesus and his disciples returned to Jerusalem. At the Temple, Jewish religious leaders were enraged at Jesus for establishing himself as a spiritual authority. They arranged an ambush with the intent to put him under arrest. But Jesus eluded their traps and declared severe judgments on them, saying: Matthew 23:24-33. "Blind guides! For you are like whitewashed tombs —beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people's bones and all sorts of impurity.

PREFACE Holy Week is the week leading up to Easter, beginning with Palm Sunday and ending with Easter Sunday. It is a week devoted to commemorating Jesus Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Palm Sunday), the Last Supper with His disciples (Maundy Thursday), His crucifixion (Good Friday) and His resurrection (Easter Sunday). It has historically been a time of introspection and repentance, an opportunity to embrace what it looks like to live out Christ’s suffering in our own lives and find true redemption in Him. It is this sentiment — death and new life — that is at the heart of Holy Week. We pray this devotional, created by different members of the Evangel family, will bless you. Carol A.

  • This Is the Most Solemn Week of the Church Year
    Holy Week Trinity Anglican Church Drawing by Sophie Fong Holy week and Easter are the oldest part of the Christian Year. Each day in Holy Week we meet to receive the Bread of Life in Holy Scriptures, Holy Sacraments, and Holy Fellowship. The purpose of Holy Week is to bring us into the presence of the living Christ, that we may be drawn deeper into His life, which is the very life of the God who IS Love: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. From the very early years of the Christian Church Christians gathered day by day the week before Easter to follow the events of the last week before Jesus’ death and resurrection. The reason is not hard to find. Easter is our Christian Passover. At Passover faithful Jews recall how God delivered them from slavery in Egypt and brought them into the Promised Land. They take care to remember and mark these things publicly because it is through these events that God called them and made them a people. Our Christian Passover looks back to the events through which God has called us and made us a people – ‘ a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation’ (1 Peter 2:9). We have been called out of slavery to sin and dark powers that are blind and care nothing for us through the waters of Baptism, just as the people of Israel were brought through the Red Sea. For the children of Israel, the desert was the place where God transformed them from a rag-tag collection of disgruntled slaves to a free and responsible nation of citizens united by law under God.

  • Holy Week Meditation and Study Guide
    HOLY WEEK MEDITATION AND STUDY GUIDE Fr. Andrew Demotses The services of Holy Week transform us into eyewitnesses and direct participants in the awesome events of the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. In readings taken from both Old and New Testaments, in hymns, processions, and liturgical commemoration, we see the fulfillment of the Messianic prophecies, and the mighty acts by which God Himself, in the person of Jesus Christ, grants us forgiveness for our sins, and rescues us from the pain of eternal death. PALM SUNDAY EVENING - 6:00 p.m. April 12, Bridegroom Matins - Matthew 21:18-43. This evening's service calls to mind the beginning of Jesus' suffering. The gospel describes the plotting of the priests and elders to trap Jesus into convicting Himself as a religious heretic. Through parables, Jesus tells us of His coming betrayal, trial, conviction and execution by crucifixion. The hymns of this service commemorate two things; the first, the prophetic figure of Joseph, who, while virtuous, nonetheless suffered unjustly at the hands of his brothers before being greatly rewarded, and the second, the parable of the fig tree, which in failing to bear fruit, became a symbol of fallen creation, and of our own lives, in which we also have failed to bear spiritual fruit. HOLY MONDAY EVENING - 6:00 p.m. April 13, Bridegroom Matins Matthew 22:15-46; 23:1-39. This evening's theme is the need for watchfulness and preparation, lest we be called unprepared before the awesome judgment seat of Christ to render an account of ourselves.

  • Christian Liturgical Calendar Prepared by Jane A
    Christian Liturgical Calendar Prepared by Jane A. Harper, D.D., Ph.M. - 2002 & 2015 The word liturgy comes from a Greek word meaning "work of the people." The term refers to the entire order of worship and is generally used in churches where the congregation performs parts of the worship service by speaking or praying in unison. Life is a process through which we are continually evolving through cycles within ever increasing cycles. The Liturgical Calendar is a path, a journey, a series of services, ceremonies, rituals and public worship that follows a yearly cycle of birth, life, death and resurrection through Jesus the Christ. In the Methodist tradition the calendar runs in a three year cycle with scripture lessons covering the majority of the Bible and hopefully raising our understanding and faith in the process. Liturgical colors are a part of the rituals/services throughout the year. These colors are not just about their ritual or ceremonial use. We experience colors: they set a mood and create an attitude. There is a direct connection that exists between the brain and the body creating reactions that take place independently of thought or deliberation. Colors often have different symbolic meanings in different cultures and reactions to colors are a combination of biological, physiological, psychological, social and cultural factors. Color energies even seem to transcend seeing. One hypothesis is that neurotransmitters in the eye transmit information about light to the brain even in the absence of sight. This information releases a hormone in the hypothalamus that has numerous effects on our moods, mental clarity and energy level.
