Childrens Play This Sunday at CCR

This Sunday we will enter into the paradox of the Passion Week at CCR. This week will also co-inside with Rwanda's Week of Mourning for the Genocide. I hope and pray that this will be a week where the paradox of Passion will provide healing and hope.

This Sunday is Palm Sunday. It is one of my favorite days each year at church. We will re-enact Jesus of Nazareth's entrance into Jerusalem. CCR will be decorated with Palm Branches and we'll joyfully welcome King Jesus into our city of Kigali.

Last Sunday, CCR was graced by traditional dancing from our youth. This Sunday we will be blessed by a Play done by our 10 to 12 year old Bible Class. I hope you will be able to attend. The kids have worked very hard and deserve our support.

After worship Author and International Women’s Speaker, Mimi Wilson will be coming to share on God’s Goodness and God’s Holiness from 12:00pm -3:00pm at Jana Jenkins Home. Lunch will be served. If you plan to attend please contact Jana Jenkins or Marguerite Nyagahura. (Jana's e-mail is in the c.c.)

On Monday morning at 8:00 a.m. we'll gather to pray for the Week of Mourning. Thus we'll turn from celebration to grief.

We'll continue in our grief on Good Friday at 3:00 p.m. as we mark the end of Jesus' life.

However, this is not the end. We will celebrate Jesus' Resurrection the following Easter Sunday, 12 April.

This week will be one of paradox - both filled with celebration and grief. I hope you will find that as we discover the power of the Resurrection that you will find hope and healing. Though this life is filled with great suffering we do have hope.

Imana ikurinde,

Dave Jenkins
