Each day during Holy Week (1st -7th April 2012) we encouraged discussion on a theme relevant to what happened on that day 2,000 years ago...
Palm Sunday when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey:
What can Jesus show us about the kind of leadership we need today?
Holy Monday when Jesus overturned the tables of the moneychangers:
What can Jesus show us about justice in our financial systems today?
Holy Tuesday when Jesus told the parable of the tenants and spoke of signs of the coming judgement:
What can Jesus show us about justice in the world?
Holy Wednesday when Jesus was anointed:
What can Jesus show us about forgiveness?
Maundy Thursday when Jesus prayed at Gethsemane:
What can Jesus show us about prayer?
Good Friday when Jesus died on the cross:
Why did Jesus have to die, and what is so good about it?
Holy Saturday when Jesus' body lay in the tomb:
What does Jesus show us about living with pain and disappointment?
Easter Sunday when Jesus rose from the dead:
What does Jesus show us about a hope for the future?
