Take Up Your Cross - 2025 Devotional for Ash Wednesday Through Easter

Take Up Your Cross invites you to join Jesus’ Palm Sunday parade and then continue with him along the tumultuous path of Holy Week to the cross and resurrection. Through scripture, story, history, and reflection on current events, we will attempt to see Jesus and experience beloved worship traditions with new eyes, hands, and feet. May we, like the first disciples, discover faith through Jesus’ death on a cross, a faith that is foolishness for some and a stumbling block to others, but for us reveals the power and wisdom of God.
