Holy Week is Upon Us
Friends,
As we approach Palm Sunday—the beginning of the holiest of weeks for the Christian—I wanted to share where I will be in case your church home does not offer one of these services, or if you are curious about experiencing Holy Week in a different context.
But first, some early praise for Rhythms of Habit:
Malcolm Guite has submitted an endorsement for Rhythms of Habit:
Jon Jordan’s Rhythms of Habit makes a helpful and original contribution to the growing body of literature on how the rhythms of the Church Year can deepen and sustain our faith. He gives a clear introduction to the seven virtues, helps us to understand how habit strengthens virtue and helps us see how the Church Year can itself strengthen habits of virtue. I commend this book not only of its clarity but also for the way Jordan constantly illustrates the practical applications of all he says. The whole book has the tone and style of helpful advice from a good friend who understands our struggles and is there to help us.
This book is on track to be published in June. As you can imagine, more information to come as we approach that date!
Holy Week with the Jordans
The full Church of the Incarnation Holy Week schedule can be found here. Here is where we will be serving:
Palm Sunday (March 29th): I will be preaching the 9am and 11:15am Uptown Services at Church of the Incarnation.
Maundy Thursday (April 2nd): I will be serving, and the Jordans will be attending, the 7pm Uptown service.
Good Friday (April 3rd): Jordans current plans unknown. Not serving this day.
Easter Vigil (April 4th: I will be preaching on Saturday night’s Great Vigil of Easter, which begins at 8pm and runs until roughly 10:30pm. This is the most beautiful service of the Christian Year, and I cannot recommend it more highly!
Easter Sunday (April 5th): I will be serving at the 9am and 11:15am Uptown services.
The Next Project
I won’t be working on this in any significant way until my edits and proof review is entirely finished for Rhythms of Habit, but here is a sneak peek at my next book project!
