April 2nd: Weekly E-News From Holston View United Methodist

Being Disciples, Making Disciples in the Name of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of the World

My Dear Holston View Family,
I write this just before I prepare to begin the Maundy Thursday worship service. This is a special worship service for me as I consider the grace that was extended so extravagantly by Jesus. What do I mean? Jesus blessed his disciples with love, grace, and a future all the while knowing the would betray, desert, and deny him. What wondrous love is this? What wondrous love this is!

As you prepare for Easter, family gatherings, or Easter Egg hunting, let us remember the cost of this grand celebration and the root of the true joy we embrace. The world needs to know! How can you share this generous love before Sunday? Seek God's heart and listen to how God is calling you to offer extravagant and wondrous love.

In Faithfulness With You,

Connecting In Faith and Mission
