Over the last two years, we've created a number of opportunities for reflection when we couldn't gather in-person. This year, we share these resources again for you to use throughout Holy Week.
The technical quality varies. Some were created in the first few weeks of the pandemic when none of us really knew what we were doing or how to create virtual environments for worship, but we did and there is much value in how we came together as a community to find ways to worship together even when we couldn't be together in the ways with which we were most comfortable.
May they continue to offer opportunties for prayer and reflection, even as we are more able to gather in-person.
May they also remind us of our need to continue being creative together so that we may find new ways to be community in a world that has changed from what was "normal" two years ago.
