Scripture Reading Plan

  • This Holy Week, from Palm Sunday to Easter, we’ll offer an online multimedia meditation experience to immerse ourselves in Jesus’ passion and resurrection. Join us on his journey and invite him to share it with you.

  • If you registered, you’ll receive the daily material link at 12:30 a.m. via email. Check your spam or junk mailbox if you don’t find it. We’ll use Google Slides, accessible with any web browser, without extra installation. The meditation includes music, visuals, and text. A larger screen is helpful for clear reading.

  • We’ll also offer a special gathering on Maundy Thursday (April 17) based on that day’s meditation. You can meditate and celebrate Holy Communion with others if you prefer. Register separately on Universe.com/Westside.

  • Keep this journey in your prayers. May the Holy Spirit help us connect deeper with Jesus’ life, suffering, death, and resurrection.
