Wednesday, April 23, 2008A card from Uganda!
  We got this card from the Browns in Uganda this morning, so I thought that I would put it up here! Is it clear enough to read? You can keep up to date on their blog: Brown's Latest Online Diary There you will discover that Steve has just had Malaria, and that they are waiting for legal guardianship of Silas. They would appreciate your prayers! Labels: browns, mission, uganda Posted by: Mark | 12:02 pm |
Tuesday, April 01, 2008Declaration of worthinessOn Sunday mum got us to write what we would shout if we saw Jesus in all his resurrection power, like in Revelation 4. I imagined that it would be like at a football match. She liked what I wrote and said I should post it here. So here it is:

Good Friday ExtrasStations of the Cross The Stations of the cross are a way of reflecting on Jesus crucifixion by contemplating each stage of Jesus final journey one at a time. This originates with the Catholic church, and they designated 14 of these 'stations'. Some of the stations are based more in Catholic traditon than the Gospel texts themselves, but I think there is some good stuff in there!

Maundy Thursday Extras
 Maundy Thursday marks Jesus' Last Supper. This last supper was a Passover feast, and had deep profound meaning for what Jesus was doing and was about to do. For the last 3 years we have had a Jewish Christian in to lead us through a "Jesus int he Passover" feast. It really has been a wonderful experience each time. Since we have not done that this year, I was wondering how to get the experiential, interactive nature of the Passover that I love so much. I figured that it could probably be done at home at multiple levels. Clearly at this point a full Jesus in the Passover event is a bit late in the day to organise. Although if you do wish to do that I have a full script that I have edited to make it accessible to the "amateur". Please to email me if you want a copy. I have also edited down a more accessible version, and all you really need it some Matzah [although any crackers would do] and some wine [no, nothing else would do there ;o)]. This includes what i consider to be the crucial elements that is acheivable for a family over an evening meal. Why not give it a try? You can download it here: Here are the steps:
A more simple thing to do thise evening is to share crackers and wine over the meal and remember Jesus' words: While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, ... "Take it; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and ... they all drank from it. "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many."Consider the cracker's features: "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by his stripes we are healed"(Isaiah 53:5) All credit for the "Jesus in the Passover" source material goes to my friend Andy Wertheim.

Wednesday, March 19, 2008A Journey through Easter Week: Spy WednesdayDay 1: Palm Sunday Day 2: Great Monday Day 3: Holy Tuesday Day 4: Spy Wednesday Day 5: Maundy Thursday Believe it or not, Spy Wednesday is a traditional name for today. It marks the day that Judas agreed to betray Jesus. "Spy" maybe doesn't have quite the sme connotations as it used - being a spy is now a cool thing, thanks to James Bond! However I still think that it is a great name!
