a community creating for the relentless return of Sunday
To God, we are the aroma of Christ.
Okay, so many of us are covered in snow. But still–Easter is coming! Like, really soon.
And before that, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.
Do you have plans? Worship services every day, or just one or two days? Do you do an Easter Vigil?
What kind of liturgy will you use this week? Footwashing? Communion? Stripping the Sanctuary? Sunrise?
Are you planning to stick to your congregation’s traditions and do what you did last year, or write something new?
We’re here, ready to brainstorm, commiserate, plot, and create with you!
Inspiring God,
plant us deep within your rich soil…
fill us with your nourishing, refreshing, life-giving water…
and shine your life-sustaining light of love upon us…
so that we may grow and go and be and do.
Amen

One: O Holy One, worship might be over. We might be done with our praise.
All: But, let’s not go to our own homes greiving and sad. Let us go fishing for alleluias in the seas of your love!
Author’s Note: On Easter 7, I’m breaking from the RCL to preach from the Gospel of Peter as we conclude the Easter Season. Though these prayers are based in that scripture, they certainly carry the story of the entire Easter Season – and its end.
