It's Good Friday
This is an odd time to be preparing and anticipating Easter. As a pastor normally, I would be very busy this week. Normally I would be running errands, writing sermons and prayers, and ensuring the church was ready to celebrate the resurrection.
We were planning an extensive outdoor art installation for Holy Week. This would have been a center point for reflection and worship during Holy Week for Mount Olivet United Methodist Church and The Way.
Things have changed since those plans were made and we were not able to install the outdoor installation. Our wonderfully talented Communications Specialist took what I thought to be a wash and made a 360-degree experience. Take your phone with you on a walk or outdoor break today, and immerse yourself into the Stations of the Cross.
You know as I do, this is not a normal Holy Week. This is not a normal Good Friday. I pray the online Stations of the Cross are an escape for you, from the new normal you have been forced into, a holy distraction from the anxiety and chaos moving around us.
