Peace to you.
“What does ‘holy’ mean?” A church member asked during Bible Study.
We rarely use this word in daily life, yet it is at the heart of God’s nature and ours.
Holy has a twofold meaning. For God, it means perfectly pure and good—no sin, no flaw. For people, it means being set apart for God, called to live differently because we belong to Him.
This is why we call this week Holy Week. Jesus, perfect and pure, became sin for us and took up the cross, so that we might belong to God and live differently. This week, we remember his sacrificial death and celebrate his resurrection.
Yesterday, we celebrated Palm/Passion Sunday. Joyce shared how Jesus comes to us as the Prince of Peace. I shared what it means to live as God’s holy people with a missionary mindset.

I also shared the life story of Brian Ketchum. We do not need to go abroad to live as missionaries. Anyone who sets their heart on God’s kingdom is a missionary. Read his full story here: "From Selling to Giving" by Brian Ketchum
This Holy Week, we have Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services planned. Please watch for updates, as a snowstorm may arrive on Friday.
May this final week of our Lenten journey be meaningful and transformative.
Pastor Victor
