Holy Week events

At 7pm we will gather in Wesley's sanctuary for a Tenebrae service. Tenebrae comes from the Latin for "shadows."

Between events we can meet for food and fellowship in [etc?]. If you can bring food or drink to share, please post below.

At 8pm we will watch Mel Gibson's 2004 movie, _The Passion of the Christ_. In case you don't know, this R-rated film isn't just controversial for its prolonged violence. Here's a link to two critics' reviews on the Hollywood Video site. Please feel free to look for other reviews and discussions. We will have our own discussion about suffering, sacrifice, and atonement after the movie.

Easter Dinner at Michael and Kristen's house: gather between 5 and 6pm, eat at 6. We will provide the meat and drinks. Please comment here what you can bring!

This one is about gory passion plays; it's got a great ending:
