I am so proud that we have built a diverse group of KellyGram followers which includes people of different religious faiths or perhaps those no faith, but for the Christian followers, which includes myself and most of the MKLG staff, this is a big week for us. For starters, it is the culmination of Lent and the events leading up to Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection three days later. Of course, there are many other holy days to celebrate throughout the year, but this is one of the most important weeks of our faith. In my Episcopal denomination we observed Maundy Thursday (also called Holy Thursday) last evening that included communion and feet washing, which happened to the disciples the night before Jesus’s crucifixion. We are observing the high holy day of Good Friday today and then on Saturday night we will have an Easter Vigil (which is one of my favorite services on the church calendar). Then on Sunday we will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus on Easter. It is such a special time of year, and I am so grateful for all my many blessings.

I plan to be at all four services and truly cherish the opportunity to belong to my beloved St. Martin’s-in-the Fields Episcopal Church and worship the Lord.

We’re here for the people of South Carolina!
