God bless you if you have time to read this roundup on Holy Saturday, and even more blessings on you if you don't! The RevGals have been swamped this Holy Week, so this is the first round-up since Monday--made possible by the fact that Mary Beth and I are not in charge of creating and leading services this week.
In lieu of Songbird's Friday Five meme, I'm asking for your thoughts on your most memorable Good Friday past.
Good Friday and Holy Week posts dominated my reading this morning. Preacher Mom finds this week a roller coaster. Susan Rose 's attendance at a Good Friday service prompted thoughts on the global reach of the church. Pink Shoes is struggling with her dislike of Good Friday worship. Think it never rains in California? Rebel finds a Good Friday tradition of rain has followed here there. St. Cassarole reaches for reliable memory devices to help her cope with the Marathon.
Stacey's Holy Week leads to her "randomness" post. Rachel describes her response to the meditations on Jesus' last words given by a visiting Bishop from Boston. Both Reverendmother and Mike F offer Good Friday poems. (By the way, a big virtual welcome goes out to Mike F and his blog The Mercy Blog--new member of the ring). Lorna writes about come connections between baptism and evangelism. The last in a series of original Holy Week monologues was posted by Songbird yesterday. Steph continues her series "Blogging the Monastic Triduum". And Joe reminds us where the term "Good Friday" came from. Check out Revabi's place for a bunch of interesting Holy Saturday links.
Briefer, but interesting postings for Good Friday included James' photo of the statue Jesus wept outside the Federal Building in Oklahoma City; Amy's photo of a "Loss" statue. Pam BG alerts us to the BBC's photo contest on the theme "What Easter Means to Me."
On a personal note: Welcome back NotShyChiRev after a month's absence from the blogosphere. Terri C needs prayers for friends who lost their expected second child during pregnancy. Mibi has good news on the part-time job front. Lutheran Chik is cleaning out after her mother's death, making plans for change, and reporting on Theology for the Masses.
NOT Holy Week posts came from Reverend Mommy who asks: What's in your closet at work? Perapatetic Polar Bear has morphed into Miss Manners of the Blogosphere and wants to know your thoughts on blogging etiquette. Natty has a new blogthing--What kind of cook are you? And Beth is playing the wealth meme.
For those of you leading congregations in worship tomorrow on this most holy day of the Christian year--may the Holy Spirit guide and inspire you and may each one who comes to worship be inspired and strengthened in faith.
