Holy Week
Monday of Holy Week, April 3 – Pray, fast and read Philippians 2:4-8 being assured that, like Jesus, choosing the path of vulnerability is scary, but leads to being exalted.
Tuesday of Holy Week, April 4 – Pray, fast and read Romans 15:13 remembering that just as Jesus and Martin Luther King, Jr. chose the alternative course of nonviolence, we also can “abound in hope” made possible by the ‘power of the Holy Spirit”.
Wednesday of Holy Week, April 5 – Pray, fast and read John 12:31-32 being reminded that the powers of this world will eventually give way to an eternal power as we keep lifting up the name of Jesus Christ for the world we abide in.
Maundy Thursday, April 6 – pray, fast and study John 13:14-15 committed to practice the same hospitality Jesus offered His disciples to our neighbors assuring them that we all belong.
Good Friday, April 7 – Pray, fast and read Psalm 69:30-33 as we marvel over the mystery of Jesus’ lynching on our behalf thereby helping us to reread the empire messages of power, politics, capitalism, militarism, sexism and racism knowing that God is the God of the powerless!
Holy Saturday, April 8 – Pray, fast and read John 20:1af expecting that God always has a surprised interruption in the midst of the most violent and tragic situations. Learn to live with tiptoe faith!
Easter Sunday, April 9 – Pray, fast and read John 20:19 remembering that Easter declares that there is a contradiction between the powers of this world and the Resurrection power of our God – graves must open – death must give way to life – sin must die to amazing grace of God through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ! Hallelujah! Amen!

SIXTH EPISCOPAL DISTRICT, CME CHURCH
Coronavirus: A Time for Courageous Hope
A Word of Guidance from Thomas Louis Brown, Sr., Bishop
Greetings clergy and laity of the Sixth Episcopal District!
The COVID-19 is mysteriously impacting our lives in ways we could have never imagined. While the virus is mysterious, it is not a myth. It is real! This crisis is affecting our homes, churches, communities, schools, jobs and lives all around the globe. The word crisis means a turning point – a moment of both danger and opportunity. The Coronavirus has created for us such a moment.
As the Church, we must do the right and moral thing for the good of our members and communities, indeed our world. While our governmental leaders and medical professionals are offering practical guidelines for conducting our lives during this crisis, it is imperative that the Church remain instructive, faithful and wise. This is not a time to test our faith and certainly not an opportunity to try and test God. Therefore, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, I offer the following guidance and observations:
- I am requesting that we close our churches for worship and other services until at least after the first Sunday in April. We need to do all that we can to help prevent the spread of this virus.
-
In the meantime, every pastor should utilize varied electronic platforms in order to offer our members worship, Bible study and prayer opportunities. Among these mediums are Zoom, Skype, Tele-conferencing, Facebook, etc. Let us think and act creatively for the good of our people.
-
Financially, I invite us to secure such mediums, as Givelify and others, in order that our people can continue offering God our tithes, offerings and gifts.
Let us ensure that our people’s spiritual and material needs are being met. Especially attend to the needs of our children and youth as well as the elderly in our congregations, and those who may become victims of this virus.
Let stay connected, always be in posture of prayer for our Church, community, nation and world during this Season of Lent looking to the victory promised in Easter morning! The Peace and Power of Christ be with you!!!
Remember there is the COVID Task Force Hotline – 844-442-2681.
