Easter

Holy Week

As we make our way towards the Easter celebration, we have been examining different aspects of Jesus and why understanding these aspects helps us live differently. We constantly remember that Jesus understands us–he gets us–because he was God in human flesh and blood who lived in our world. Get Jesus: He Gets Us.
