Spiritual Message by Dr. Rebecca Esterson, April 14, 2019
Scripture readings: Exodus 13:3-10, Mark 14: 12-16, 22-26
This week Jews and Christians around the world will celebrate one of the holiest weeks of their year. On Palm Sunday we explore the fascinating history of the holidays of Passover and Easter, the ways that we can be sensitive to their important differences and also how we might celebrate the potential for connections between our communities.
