Hello,

It’s been a good Palm Sunday I’m just sitting here doing the site and printing out my taxes. I spent a lot of time this week rendering unto Caesar.

This week I want to talk about something other than the obvious. We can and should speak of Jesus suffering and death often. While that and Easter were the most significant events. Close behind them is communion. It is a rite that binds us many years later the the Early Christians and indeed the upper room. Let’s spend a week on that. While we go through Holy Week.
