Reflecting on our Holy Season

Holy Week Services

Holy Week Services

This was the first year FedUp held Triduum services. What a special and holy week it was!

Palm Sunday

To kick off Holy Week, we held a special LiftUp service on Wednesday, 3/25 in recognition of Palm Sunday, where community members had the opportunity to decorate and wave their own palms in celebration of when Jesus rode through Jerusalem on a donkey in peaceful protest of empire's violent ways.

Holy Wednesday and Maundy Thursday

Wednesday we prepared a handwashing station to replicate what Jesus did when he washed his disciples' feet. We also engaged in a Passion Narrative Dramatization of the Last Supper and the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion. On Maundy Thursday, Pastor Anna and the FedUp Team joined the Ypsilanti Mainline Protestant Churches in hosting a potluck and worship service at First Pres. Between the five congregations present (First Presbyterian, Emmanuel Lutheran, St. Luke's Epsicopal, and First United Methodist, and of course FedUp Ministries), over $500 was raised for our work. Thank you to our amazing church partners for your continued support! 

Good Friday

On Good Friday, Pastor Anna, Pastor Dave, and Sheri of PeaceHouse led a walking journey through Ypsilanti titled “Stations of the Cross Where Christ is Being Crucified Today”, inspired by St. Peter’s Episcopal Church’s yearly Good Friday Walk in Detroit. Participants journeyed to multiple “stations” or locations that represent the different inequities and struggles our community faces. These stops were where we reflected, prayed, sang, and engaged in dialogue, drawing parallels to the crucifixion Jesus faced. We ended the day with a meal at First Baptist Church in Ypsi, reflecting upon these experiences and our expansive partnership across this community. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this powerful journey!

Easter Sunday

We ended Holy Week with a special Easter LiftUp service, celebrating Jesus’ resurrection and the meaning of new birth, hope, and victory over sin and hardship. Afterward, we shared a meal with our partners at First Pres. Those breakfast burritos were great! Thank you to everyone who came to our Holy Week services!

Verse of the Month

If you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 
Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth,
 for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 
When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.

Colossians 3:1-4
