Slow blogging

Holy Week is one of the most intense periods of the Christian year. Blogging has rather dropped down the priorities in an over-busy week.

No time for details, but the highlights (so far):
  • The honest and wise sharing of a group beginning to look at Christian Perspectives on Death and Dying.
  • The inclusive liturgy at the Diocesan Eucharist, which now affirms the particular ministries of lay people, and the commission to ministry in the general sense that comes to all God's people at baptism.
  • The baptism of Sadie, at the Maundy Thursday celebration of the Lord's Supper.
  • Sunshine on Good Friday.
  • The sharing with a congregation from Churches Together in a service on Good Friday night, especially the videos from IgniterMedia.
  • Long hours with the gospels in preparation for several sermons.
  • Preparations for a big surprise (wait and see!) on Sunday morning, as we celebrate the resurrection.
Next week I have some time off, so a break from the blog as well, and more time with my much-neglected family. Happy Easter!
