Dear Friends,
It's Easter Wednesday, and the nominations are a little thin. Can it be that you are...tired? Exhausted, even? from the week we have just passed through?
Well, then!
I invite you to come in, sit down with a cup of PG Tips tea or Café Justo (fair trade) coffee and a warm snickerdoodle, and REST.
I'll dish up the offerings so far, and then I invite you to share with us your thoughts on any or all of the following: the Holy Week and Easter past, what you are doing to be kind to yourself and recuperate, "Low Sunday" ahead, the coming of Spring in our world...
Gord's working on a thought-provoking series responding to the 5 fundamentals in fundamental Christianity. He's got 4 of them done; go get started reading now.
Presybterian Gal played the Presbymeme and wrote a little extra credit question on what Jesus would say if he were to address the General Assembly. I warn you NOT to sip your mocha latte while reading this!
And Sally has a bit of a rant, a few thoughts, and a poem for us.
What's up with YOU?

ReplyDeleteI wrote a reflection on Holy Saturday, a day we seem too likely to skip right over.
A poem inspired by the moon on my way home from the Easter Vigil.
A wrapup sort of reflection on the whole marathon.
And finally a couple recent poems on Eucharist and spring!!!

Yep, tired and exhausted is a good word for it.
ReplyDeleteI also want to say safe journeys to our B. E. rgbps. Hope it is relaxing and restful and fun.
I was busy writing mystery reviews for DorothyL so don't have much to blog right this minute. But on the topic of Low Sunday, my church has cleverly scheduled a meeting after worship to hear the consultant we got from Alban Institute report on his findings. I think that will increase attendance! And Onkel Hankie Pants and I are ushering for the first time at this church. We have to go early for training. It will be our first experience with the bags-on-sticks method of collecting the offering. I hope I don't poke anyone in the eye! Oh - traveling mercies to all the Cruisers. May you return refreshed and renewed!
ReplyDeleteAt my place you can read a somewhat hopeful update on the Children Raised By Wolves, and share your thoughts on non-sectarian life-event celebrants.
ReplyDeleteI'm too tired to blog. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am spending time this week doing some reflecting and planning future ministry. Since I un-resigned, I am still working on getting my head back into it--I spent four months getting it out so it is a bit challenging.
Not sure what I'm going to preach on. After Easter--then what? Hmmm...maybe that should be the title of my sermon.
I am tired :(
ReplyDeleteOver at my place I am urging people to take part in Earth Hour this weekend. Check it out here and join in a great way to show stewardship of creation.
ReplyDeleteMore Obama here and here.
ReplyDeleteI have had three days off to recover from last week, but am happy to share my entry from today plus last week's poetry if you're interested.
ReplyDeleteEaster was the only day of church for me - I attended with our 9 y/o grandson who was asking about the liturgical colors of the year! Otherwise we were busy helping out with one son as his wife gave birth to a second child and awaiting news from the other coast of a second child for our other son. Lots of new life - woohoo!
ReplyDeleteLate SOS to anyone reading through these posts...I just posted a request for advice about church bulletin boards on my blog .
ReplyDeleteI'm tired too, but not because of Holy Week services. I managed to post today though...check it out if you're scientifically inclined, or just curious!
