As we begin this Holy Week before Easter with Palm Sunday, I wanted to share with you all some of the inspirational, faith-based programming airing this weekend. Let us rejoice during this special time as we reflect on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, who gave His life as a sacrifice for our sins, so we could live for eternity in heaven with Him!

ABC will have their annual airing of the movie The Ten Commandments this Saturday evening, the weekend before Easter, with Charlton Heston as Moses. I am in awe every time I watch this film and see the water part as the children of Israel make their exodus from Egypt and cross the Red Sea.
The Ten Commandments begins at 7pm/6c. on ABC.
The Ten Commandments is also available on DVD and Streaming.

The Hallmark Channel is premiering the only new movie this weekend with the *Spring Into Love* movie...
Storyline: Rae Parker (Hudon) has a very fabulous, single life that attracts thousands of readers to her monthly travel column, “Reservation for One.” Rae is surprised when her editor wants to send her to the world’s most romantic vacation destination -- The Conrad Maldives. She’s an adventurous spirit and staying at the luxurious Muraka makes it difficult for her to find the type of experiences she needs to write an article worthy of her column. It doesn’t help that Rae is terribly afraid of the open ocean and a hotel that floats in the middle of it. After a few failed solo attempts, Rae realizes she needs some guidance and support to undertake some of the challenges outside of her comfort zone. The Conrad’s guest experience expert, Jared Joseph (Manley), steps in and makes it his personal mission to give Rae the adventure she’s looking for…
Please Note: Much of the movie, Love in the Maldives, takes place on the beach, so characters will be seen in swimwear.

"And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
