While our church’s doors remain closed, our arms are open spiritually as we continue in the service of spreading God’s word. In that spirit, for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday 2020, we will be replaying our episodes from those days in 2019. On this special Maundy Thursday episode of the Shepherdcast, we will be taking a look at Jeremiah This episode of the Shepherdcast takes place on what is the beginning of The Three Days (also called Triduum), which is one continuous liturgy beginning on Maundy Thursday, continuing Good Friday, and concluding on Easter Sunday.In case you are reading along with a Bible and our readings don’t necessarily match up with yours, we use the NRSV translation of the Holy Bible.In a situation like this COVID-19 pandemic we are currently experiencing, there is a lot of misinformation.
