This year, we are going to follow the Gospel of Mark for Holy Week Services, Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. However, there are days we do not meet to worship during Holy Week and there is Scripture between Palm Sunday and Maundy Thursday that we do not read. So, here is a weeklong set of readings for your own devotional times to read the entire Holy Week Story as hold in Mark, with some fill ins from the Old Testament to round out the story
