Holy Week Resources & Activities

HOLY WEEK: SUNDAY
Thanks for joining us for Holy Week devotions. As we look ahead to the celebration of Easter, we hope that spending some time each day reflecting on the story of Jesus will help us slow down and remember more fully these foundational moments of our faith.

LEARN MORE

HOLY WEEK: MONDAY
For today’s devotional, we have a guided video reflection from John 12:1-11, where we see Jesus spending time with some of his closest friends before he heads to Jerusalem and to the cross.

LEARN MORE

HOLY WEEK: TUESDAY
Because the week leading up to Jesus’ arrest and eventual crucifixion was Passover week, there were many people in Jerusalem for this important Jewish holiday. Interest in Jesus and his identity was growing, and as people came to see him, Jesus had some unexpected things to share with them.

LEARN MORE

HOLY WEEK: WEDNESDAY
The Bible honestly describes people’s varying responses to Jesus in light of his teachings and miracles: Some believed, some couldn’t see clearly who he was, and some believed in secret because of the consequences they would face.

LEARN MORE

HOLY WEEK: THURSDAY
For today’s devotional, we have a guided video reflection from John 13:1-38, where we see Jesus eating a meal with his disciples. He knew that what was about to happen would be intense and would involve several of them turning their backs on him. However, Jesus’ posture is always love.

LEARN MORE

HOLY WEEK: FRIDAY
John’s account from this day spans several chapters. You can read it in full in John 18:1-40, 19:1-37. We have a video reflection that will guide us to listen to some of Jesus’ final words spoken before he gave up his life.

LEARN MORE

HOLY WEEK: SATURDAY
Read John’s description of what happened immediately after Jesus’ death in John 19:38-42. Several people who followed Jesus secretly helped with the work that needed to be done after his death by giving financially so that he could be put to rest in a tomb. All of this had to be done before the Sabbath on Saturday.

LEARN MORE

HOLY WEEK: EASTER SUNDAY
If you know the story of Jesus, the news that he did not remain in the tomb but came back to life from the dead is familiar to you. Read John’s description in John 20:1-29 of these first moments. The resurrection not only took Jesus’ followers by surprise but it also took them time to process.

LEARN MORE
