A wonderful service of palms and passion yesterday. I really felt the spirit moving through the scripture, the baptism, the music, the liturgy. Now to figure out the Maundy Thursday service. Yesterday a woman approached me to do a reading she'd written after her son died in a motorcycle accident. Recognizing the control freak in me who sometimes rears her ugly head, I agreed and kept thinking, "I hope this works out ok." But I also was thinking this is something she needs to do, and what better time than at the service of Christ's last supper? Now to plan the rest of the service so that it's casual yet structured, easy-flowing yet liturgical, and filled with Spirit. Which isn't really my call so that's up to her.
I also realize I really need to start planning more than one service at a time so that Holy Week doesn't creep up on me and I'm planning 2 services that week. And I only work part-time! I should have plenty of time to plan ahead.
A stormy day here in Texas. A good day to get holy week blocked out.
