Holy Saturday



Some great reflections from Lynn Beebe on the lesser-known day of Holy Week: Holy Saturday, observed the day before Easter.

"Today I am pondering what happened on the day after Jesus’ death on the cross. His followers didn’t have the benefit of scripture to let them know that He would rise the next day. (He had told them, but they didn’t understand.) They were in hiding, scattered, afraid, sorrowful, and disillusioned. They must have been deeply hurt by the horror of seeing Jesus crucified. They surely felt the loss that we feel when a close loved one dies. The women were going to anoint His body the next morning; they weren’t expecting Him to live again. They must have contemplated what life would be like without Him. How despondent and broken they must have felt on this day. Thank You, God, that we never have to experience a world without Jesus!"

Hymn Playlist

Hello Everyone - One of the things I enjoy most as your Worship Director is the opportunity to play for you.  I am always humbled when I hear folks say that they are able to worship, reflect, and connect with God through the music.  I know that for many, music can be one of the best ways to experience God and to worship Him. I am sharing below a few recordings that I did several years ago of some of my favorite hymns.  I hope to be able to make some new recordings to share soon, but in the meantime, I hope these may be a blessing to you. Don't forget to check back regularly on this blog, as we are adding lots of new content throughout the week! In Christ, Justin CLICK HERE to listen to the music.

All Things Bright and Beautiful

Hello, Greenway family!  We are enjoying social distancing today with drive thru Chick-Fil-A at a remote picnic table at Price Park. Thankful that God has sent beautiful sunshine, fresh mountain air, and more family time to us during this season. After lunch, we took pictures of details in His creation that we found amazing! What things have you taken notice of? “All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small. All things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all!” Blessings, Max, Christy, Leah and Julia
