<\/figure>\n\n\n\nJesus is traveling toward Jerusalem. He knows what will happen to him when he gets there. He knows how much fear and hatred have gripped the hearts of its citizens. He knows that they will take out all of their fear on him, to the point of merciless, unjust execution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And still, he stops. He looks to his beloved people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And he weeps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh, that we might have the compassion of Jesus for those who lash out in ignorance and fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you heard it correctly. We are having lunch together AS OUR SERVICE OF HOLY COMMUNION<\/strong> at 11:00am on Wednesday.

Please come and share this experience as a community…and have Emily’s treats for dessert!!<\/p>\n\n\n\nThursday Morning – Lunch Church…as usual. 11:00am in the Dining Room<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
