We gather during this Lenten season as Christians united in prayer. In the midst of our busy lives we pause to pray as we reflect on the suffering journey of Christ.
As we accompany Jesus on his journey to Calvary, let us take a moment to remember how difficult that journey was. He carried his cross through the narrow crowded streets of Jerusalem. It was Passover time and so the city was full of people, many of whom mocked, jostled and took pleasure in watching as Jesus struggled with his heavy burden. The way was often steep. The journey that Jesus made on that day remains a symbol of Christianity in the world, as it struggles with its own crosses and failures, and the challenges of modern life. The streets of our towns are filled with people who carry their personal crosses, who are bruised, battered and broken. Through these Stations of the Cross, Jesus is inviting us to journey with him and to reflect on his suffering as it continues in the lives of his people. In solidarity with all who suffer, let us pray that we will be open to whatever God wants us to see, hear and understand.
The 15 Stations of the Cross can be viewed in the Administrative Hallway by the Church Office Monday - Thursday 9:00 am - 12:00 noon or on Sunday mornings before and after Worship Service.

Dear Friends, please join me for:
"Savior: What the Bible Says About the Cross"
The cross is the central symbol of the Christian faith. But what exactly did Jesus do to save us from our sins? Why was the cross necessary, and what does it mean for us today?
In Savior: What the Bible Says About the Cross, Magrey deVega faithfully describes the need for reconciliation between humankind and a holy God through Jesus' death on the cross. The Bible uses many images to understand the meaning of Jesus' death and resurrection, and deVega guides us through these images to achieve a richer understanding of the Christian faith. By exploring the mystery of salvation through the cross, we can deepen our love for God and others and strengthen our commitment to follow Jesus.
The cost is $15.00 per person.
RSVP by email to the church office (westendumc1914@gmail.com) or sign up in the Narthex if you would like to take part in the study.
