— The Jewish Roots of Holy Week
If you knew you only had one week left to live, how would you spend it? What would you do? Most people know that Jesus celebrated the Last Supper on Holy Thursday, died on Good Friday, and lay dead in the tomb on Holy Saturday. But what about the other days of Holy Week? What did Jesus choose to say and do on the last seven days of his life?
Join us for a video presentation where Dr. Brant Pitre takes his knowledge of the Jewish roots of Christianity and uses it to unveil the mysteries of the most sacred and solemn week of the entire year: “Holy Week.” We will see what Jesus did on each day of Holy Week and learn about the prophesies he fulfilled.
We will gather in the Old White Church on Tuesday, March 21st from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Snacks and light refreshments will be provided.
RSVP by Monday, March 20th: online through SignUpGenius>Explore The Mystery of Holy Week or call Vicki at 847.997.7350.
