Every year, the whole world comes together for a week-long celebration of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Let's journey with Jesus through Scripture from Palm Sunday to the cross and resurrection Sunday.

Easter can feel like another day on the calendar instead of a defining moment that impacts how we see every other day of our lives. Starting with Palm Sunday, this plan walks you through each day of Holy Week and draws out themes that remind us that with Jesus we don't experience new life just once a year, but every single day.

Jesus “took the bread, blessed it, broke it, gave it to his disciples, and said, ‘This is my body given for you, do this in remembrance of me.’” In the same way, we too are taken, blessed, broken, given, and spoken in God’s love—that we might remember the body of Christ for a hurting world and become instruments of peace. Welcome to the Jesus Meal.

Only briefly mentioned in the Gospels, Joseph of Arimathea is a mere footnote in Scripture and a postscript to the great salvation story. However, his story teaches us that an ordinary person, living an ordinary life, can be an instrument in the hands of God to be used for His purposes. His actions speak volumes and show us how to live for Christ in a world that opposes Him.

The Bible book of John describes Jesus' last days on earth. Jesus was captured and sentenced to death. He died on a cross, but also rose again from the dead! This reading plan takes you through John's account so that you too can experience the miracle and the joy of Easter.

“In these next days and weeks leading up to Easter we’ll explore different scriptures. Each verse a thread in the tapestry of God’s great big redemption story – all culminating in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In this Easter season, let’s slow down and create a regular rhythm of remembrance together.” (Lent – Lucy Weil)

What do the miracles that Jesus performed 2000 years ago have to do with your life? Quite a lot, because Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He is a God of miracles and just as he raised his friend Lazarus from the dead back then, he can give you new life today in areas of your life that have long felt dead.

Near the end of his life, John was the last of the living apostles and wrote a story about Jesus. It’s his testimony of who Jesus is, what he said, what he did, and who he claimed to be. Jesus has a story. He invites us to make it our story. When we make Jesus’s story our story, we have life in his name. This plan focuses on Jesus’s final moments with his disciples, crucifixion, and resurrection. It is Jesus’s last will & testament.

Step into the Gospel of John and read through the influence and impact Jesus had the two weeks preceding His death. Once you experience God’s truth, you will never look at life the same – for Jesus is greater than any fear that grips your life or joy that fills your heart.

As you celebrate Easter, take time to reflect on what resurrection means for your whole self—body and spirit.

It also reminds us that the church, as the living body of Christ, is called to reflect his love in the world. Step into this embodied faith!

In this plan, you’ll learn about the life and miracles of Jesus recorded by his first followers.

The Lenten journey is a counterintuitive journey to life by way of the cross. Each year at this time we are invited to turn and face those things from which we would rather run and hide. We walk to the cross where we experience the great unveiling and see things as they really are. We see God for who God is, and we discover ourselves for who we are.
