On Wednesday in Holy Week, in lieu of our usual midweek Eucharist, we will be praying the Way of the Cross using the Stations that folks colored last year. If you are not familiar with this devotional service, it is a way of entering into the last hours of Jesus' life by following his steps through Jerusalem. This practice is appropriate at any time during Lent or Holy Week, and booklets containing the service are on the table at the back of the church and the shelf near the cloister door if you'd like to pray on your own at any time Monday to Friday from 9 am to 12 Noon.
