Jars of water. Giant jars of water. Poured out. I worked most closely with John 2.1-11.

I love Maundy Thursday. I love the chance to eat together, to express the care and love we have for one another through the oddity of the washing of feet. I am mourning all of those things today. But I have also seen signs of God’s great love in my church family and those are […]
