SERVICE REMINDER: We are particpating in the DeKalb Cross Walk with other area churches. The Walk begins at The Vineyard Church (1051 S 4th St, DeKalb) at 11:30 with a service at noon
MEDITATE: John 18:1-40, John 19:1-42, Isaiah 52:13-15, Isaiah 53:1-12, Hebrews 10:16-25, Psalm 22
PRAY: Lord God, Jesus cried out to you on the cross, “Why have you forsaken me?” You seemed so far from his cry And from his distress. Those who stood at the foot of the cross wondered where you were, as they saw Jesus mocked and shamed and killed. Where were you then?
Lord God, We, too, ask where you are, When there is trouble and suffering and death, And we cry out to you for help. Be near to us, so that we may praise you for your deliverance. Lord God, We wait, on Friday, for the resurrection of Sunday and sometimes our lives seem a succession of Fridays And we cannot see what is “Good.” Teach us to call your name As Jesus did. Make us to trust in you like little children.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
