New download for Good Friday
|
Digital download: Originally compiled for a Highland village, this ecumenical prayer walk uses local landmarks to relate to the concerns of the community and its links to the wider world. It is based on the medieval tradition of fourteen stations of the Cross and uses scriptural passages, well-known hymns and reflective poetry. As every small community will be geographically different, it can be adapted to provide a feasible route. With stops, the event should take between 60 and 90 minutes at a gentle pace. The walk is meant as quiet blessing, based on the Christian faith offered but not imposed. It begins at one church and ends at another, where it can be timed to fit with a Good Friday service. 24 pages For more information and to see a sample This is part two of an eventual five-part Easter sequence by Rosemary Power. Part one, published recently, is: |
Digital download: A liturgy for group use, intended as a way of using Holy Saturday within the context of Passion liturgy, by pausing, and reflecting on a world without God, and on our own human losses. The voices of the women who kept the Sabbath, and Passover, are used as a basis for reflection. There are also pauses for stories from scripture, and for those present to add something from their own stories. 14 pages |
