Seven Peoria-area pastors from various faith traditions worked together to create a Holy Week podcast series of reflections on the seven last words of Christ. One will be released each day from Palm Sunday through Holy Saturday. We hope you use these to live more fully into the passion of Jesus and be reminded that Christ walks with us through all trials and dark days of our lives. A short bio of each speaker is included. A special thanks to Dr. Jon Giblin for the organ setting of “Were You There” that accompanies the podcast.
The Sixth Word – John 19:30
When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Speaker – Heather Robertson
Pastor Heather Robertson is delighted to co-pastor St. Paul United Church of Christ in Pekin. New to this faith community, while coming home to Pekin, she marvels at the experience of this current journey. Saying yes to God even when it seems impossible has been a theme for a while now. Currently completing her seminary education at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, while being mom to three amazing kids with an unbelievable partner, life is certainly full. Only the movement of the Spirit could make it possible. May we all see with new eyes (from a distance) and hear with new ears the story of resurrection waiting to shock and awe us yet again.
