(I've never been much for keeping dates and times... just as well Colossians says "do not let anyone judge you ... with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day"!)
Easter weekend was good. Friday - Good Friday - was a day spent in deep discussion with Marie about our hopes, dreams and goals.
Saturday night we went to church. Because theSanctuary meets in a church building that's shared by multiple congregations, they couldn't do a Good Friday or Easter Sunday service, so Saturday was everything rolled into one.
There was supposed to be an Easter message, but circumstances beyond our control etc. meant that it was just an extended worship service.
What am I saying... there's no such thing as 'just' a worship service these days.
It was an interactive worship service, with the symbols out, and us being encouraged to go and contemplate the stations of the cross.
My mum came with us - she'd been wanting to come along for a long time, but struggles with her energy levels. She really enjoyed it.
It was interesting how all this activity not only propelled us closer to our relationship with God, it also made us aware of each other. I think that's what God's trying to do. Take the blinkers off, and learn how to live in community.
Should be fun! :-0
